FCoE
Last modified: Thursday, April 24, 2008 

Short for Fibre Channel over Ethernet, FCoE is a standard for using the Fibre Channel protocol over Ethernet networks. FCoE is expected to enable SAN traffic to be natively transported over Ethernet networks, while protecting and extending the investment enterprises have made in storage networks. FCoE uses Ethernet cards, cables and switches to route Fibre Channel  traffic at the link layer, and uses Ethernet to transmit the FC protocol.  FCoE basically would enable organizations and  enterprises to continue to run Fibre Channel over the same wires as their data networks. The goal of FCoE is to reduce management complexity, reduce time to deployment, lower capital and operating costs and lower power utilization. 

The FCoE specification was submitted to the American National Standards Institute by a group of storage vendors including Brocade, Cisco Systems, EMC, Emulex, IBM, Intel, Nuova, QLogic, and Sun Microsystems. FCoE backs the Convergence Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) specification, and as such it may also be referred to as FCoCEE.

We will cover how IB, iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Internet Protocol (FCIP) compares to Fibre Channel over Convergence Enhanced Ethernet (FCoCEE) later in this article. But first we will describe why Convergence Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) was needed, versus just using Fibre Channel (FC) over (today's) Ethernet.
