eSwitch
Embedded switch. Functionality provided
by adapters as a basic Layer 2 switch for
Ethernet frames. Each physical port has
one instance of an eSwitch, which
supports all NIC partitioning on that
physical port.
Ethernet
The most widely used LAN technology that
transmits information between computer,
typically at speeds of 10 and 100 million
bits per second (Mbps).
FC
See Fibre Channel.
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.
firmware
Low-level software typically loaded into
read-only memory and used to boot and
operate an intelligent device.
Flash
Non-volatile memory where the boot code
is saved. At times, Flash and boot code
are used interchangeably.
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
A method of obtaining error control in data
transmission in which the source (trans-
mitter) sends redundant data and the
destination (receiver) recognizes only the
portion of the data that contains no
apparent errors.
frame
Data unit consisting of a start-of-frame
(SOF) delimiter, header, data payload,
CRC, and an end-of-frame (EOF) delim-
iter.
Host Bus Adapter
An adapter that connects a host system
(the computer) to other network and
storage devices.
initiator
System component, such as a network
interface card, that originates an I/O
operation.
Internet Protocol
See IP.
Internet small computer system interface
See iSCSI.
IP
Internet protocol. A method by which data
is sent from one computer to another over
the Internet. IP specifies the format of
packets, also called datagrams, and the
addressing scheme.
