George, I got side-tracked a bit by some interesting information. Did you know that there are several classes of Fibre Channel that we haven't mentioned? I got this information from a document titled, "Fibre Channel Physical And Signalling Interface - 3 (FC-PH-3) Rev 9.2", dated June 2, 1997 Class 1 (Buffered) - "Buffered Class 1 extends Class 1 Service to allow N_Ports of differing data rates to establish and make use of Class 1 Service." Class 4 (Fractional) - "Class 4 Service is a connection oriented service for use with a Fabric. This is an optional service allowing the establishment of a Class 4 circuit between a pair of communicating N_Ports. The Class 4 circuit provides a fractional allocation of the resources of the path between the N_Ports." Class 6 (Uni-Directional Dedicated Connection) - "Class 6 is a service which provides Dedicated Connections for Reliable multicast (see clause 31) for a Fabric topology." I have no idea what happened to Class 5. <g> Also of interest is that a couple of familiar names appear on the list of people who worked to develop this standard, "T. Anderson" and "R. Cornelius".
