Craig, <<<It appears as if a Private Loop is simply a loop that doesn't log in to the fabric, while a Public Loop is one that does. It doesn't seem terribly complex, at least on the surface. If Arcxel only supports private loops, perhaps that's why they need "Stealth Mode", to allow communication between loops.>>> Thank you for finding this. So, my assumption was correct. I can't see storage OEMs would even evaluate Arcxel's switch/hub vs Ancor's. What's still unclear to me is FL_port support. A simple explanation is that it can support FC_AL as well as N_port F_port. This is what Brocade has supposedly. But, I believe there are some functional deficiency with this approach. KJ
