Fibre Channel Point-to-point

Fibre Channel point-to-point (FC-P2P) is a Fibre Channel topology where exactly two ports (devices) are directly connected to each other.

  • It is the simplest topology, no network addressing is needed, because each message has only one possible receiver.
  • The bandwidth is dedicated.
  • Point-to-point uses N_port.

Famous quotes containing the words fibre and/or channel:

    “You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
    But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
    And filter and fibre your blood.

    Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
    Missing me one place search another,
    I stop somewhere waiting for you.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Eddie did not die. He is no longer on Channel 4, and our sets are tuned to Channel 4; he’s on Channel 7, but he’s still broadcasting. Physical incarnation is highly overrated; it is one corner of universal possibility.”
    —Marianne Williamson (b. 1953)
