IFCP (Internet Fibre CHANNEL Protocol) is an emerging standard for EXTENDING Fibre channel storage networks across the Internet. iFCP provides a means of passing DATA to and from Fibre Channel storage devices in a local storage area network (SAN) or on the Internet using TCP/IP. TCP provides congestion control as well as error detection and recovery services. iFCP merges existing SCSI and Fibre Channel networks into the Internet. iFCP can either replace or be used in conjunction with existing Fibre Channel PROTOCOLS, such as FCIP(Fibre Channel over IP).
