"What I would like to see is a small router-like box with one or more Fibre Channel ports
on one side and one or more Gigabit Ethernet or a bunch of Fast Ethernet ports on the
other side."

Craig,

I agree this is the optimal solution - in fact this would look like a typical GE switch that seems to have 1-4 GE modules and numerous ethernet/fast ethernet ports.

"I agree that the Byte article seems to ignore the Fibre Channel to Ethernet gateway
product from Ancor, but this is not really a high-performance solution."

Is this because this device has the old ASIC? - it seems to have the right topology otherwise.
