extensible firmware interface
See EFI.
FC
See Fibre Channel.
FCode
A type of boot code designed for use on
Sun’s SPARC or Macintosh hardware
platforms.
FCoE
Fibre Channel over Ethernet. A new
technology defined by the T11 standards
body that allows traditional Fibre Channel
storage networking traffic to travel over an
Ethernet link by encapsulating Fibre
Channel frames inside Layer 2 Ethernet
frames. For more information, visit
www.fcoe.com
.
Fibre Channel
A high-speed serial interface technology
that supports other higher layer protocols
such as SCSI and IP.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet
See FCoE.
frame
Data unit consisting of a start-of-frame
(SOF) delimiter, header, data payload,
CRC, and an end-of-frame (EOF) delim-
iter.
iiDMA
Intelligent interleaved direct memory
access. A Marvell patent-pending feature
that ensures maximum link efficiency.
initiator
System component, such as a network
interface card, that originates an I/O
operation.
input/output control
See IOCTL.
intelligent interleaved direct memory
access
See iiDMA.
Internet Protocol
See IP.
Internet simple name service
See iSNS.
Internet small computer system interface
See iSCSI.
IOCTL
Input/output control. A system call in UNIX
and Linux systems that allows an applica-
tion to control or communicate with a
device driver outside usual read/write
operations.
IP
Internet Protocol. A method by which data
are sent from one computer to another
over the Internet. IP specifies the format of
packets, also called datagrams, and the
addressing scheme.
IPv4
Internet protocol version 4. A data-oriented
protocol used on a packet switched inter-
network (Ethernet, for example). It is a
best-effort delivery protocol: it does not
guarantee delivery, ensure proper
sequencing, or avoid duplicate delivery.
These aspects are addressed by an upper
layer protocol (TCP, and partly by UDP).
IPv4 does, however, provide data integrity
protection through the use of packet
checksums.
