QUESTION POSED ON: 14 June 2004
What does FCP do? What is the difference between FCP, and FC over IP? Why there is FCIP and iFCP?

FCP is the implementation of serial SCSI for Fibre Channel. FCIP is a tunneling protocol for FCP over IP networks. iFCP is FCP ported for IP networks. It was originally designed to run on UDP also, but I do not know if that is still supported or not.
