Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) proxy point (FPP) that is connected to one or more end-point devices is coupled to one or more other FPPs, and to a FCoE control and management plane (F-CMP) server. The FPP provides data plane functionality. The F-CMP server provides control plane functionality. At least some control and management traffic received at the FPP is proxied between the F-CMP server and the one or more end point devices connected to the FPP. FCoE traffic received at the FPP from the one or more end point devices connected to the FPP is transmitted to the one or more other FPPs without the FCoE traffic traversing the F-CMP server. The transmitting is performed by data plane functionality of the FPP operating under directions from the control plane functionality of the F-CMP server.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: coupling a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) proxy point (FPP) that is connected to one or more endpoint devices with one or more other FPPs and a FCoE control and management plane (F-CMP) server, the FPP providing data plane functionality and the F-CMP server providing control plane functionality; proxying control and management traffic received at the FPP between the F-CMP server and the one or more end point devices connected to…
