Since the FCoE protocol +requires a lossless Ethernet network, special network adapters and switches +are required. Ethernet network adapters that support FCoE are called +Converged Network Adapters (CNA). The standard that makes lossless Ethernet +communication possible is called DCB or Data Center Bridging. -FCST is a module that depends on libfc and SCST to provide FC target support. +Building and Installing +======================= + +FCST is a kernel module that depends on libfc and SCST to provide FC target +support.
