|
The fcst kernel module implements an SCST target driver for the FCoE
|
|
protocol. FCoE or Fibre Channel over Ethernet is a protocol that
|
|
allows to communicate fibre channel frames over an Ethernet
|
|
network. 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. Since
|
|
FCoE frames are a kind of Ethernet frames, communication between
|
|
FCoE clients and servers is limited to a single Ethernet broadcast
|
|
domain.
