Hi J. Here is information taken from www.fibrechannel.com under Overview - Technology Comparison. I think FC in the overall network will creep up on them. The Ciena's of the world that is, that are talking about connecting to 10 GB Ethernet. They see the world as it is and was, not as how it will be. The end of next summer when they turn and look over their shoulder the young giant "FC" will be standing next them and they will jump back with surprise and say where did you come from, George Gilder said you were dead. DWDM and FIBRE Channel will become a giant force on the internet! Technology Comparison "Fibre Channel is a product of the computer industry. Fibre Channel was specifically designed to remove the barriers of performance existing in legacy LANs and channels. In addition to providing scalable gigabit technology, the architects provided flow control, self-management, and ultra-reliability. Gigabit Ethernet is designed to enable a common frame from the desktop to the backbone. However, Fibre Channel is designed to be a transport service independent of protocol. Fibre Channel's ability to use a single technology for storage, networks, audio/video, or to move raw data is superior to the common frame feature. ATM was designed at a wide area network with the ability to provide quality of service for fractional bandwidth service. The feature of fractional bandwidth with assured Quality of Service is attractive for some applications. For the more demanding applications, Class 4 Fibre Channel provides guaranteed delivery and gigabit bandwidth as well as fractional bandwidth quality of service. Fibre Channel's use in both networks and storage provides a price savings due to economies of scale associated with larger volumes. Users can expect their most cost-effective, highest-performance solutions to be built using Fibre Channel."
