Craig, Thanks for the link - will view the presentation later. Just wanted to comment now that FC does support IP. The diagram of the the protocols supported are given in the document on the Ancor web site: fibrechannel.com It is the diagram at the top. It also specifies the channel rather than network protocols. Ancor has given a number of demonstrations in the past where they have run channel and network protocols through the same switch. I think that was specified in the demo diagrams which I can't find yet on their new site, but here is a release that refers directly to using FC as an IP network: ancor.com More recently, I think FC companies are emphasizing how SAN will reduce the burden on LAN traffic and their releases say that Ancor switches "...provide gigabit-speed access to stored data throughout the enterprise without affecting LAN IP traffic.".
