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.

    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)
