    I-D ACTION:draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt



    FYI:
    
    A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
    directories.
    
    
    	Title		: mFCP - Metro FCP protocol for IP Networking
    	Author(s)	: R. Mullendore, C. Monia, J. Tseng
    	Filename	: draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt
    	Pages		: 36
    	Date		: 06-Nov-00
    	
    This document describes the mFCP protocol, which transports the
    Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI (FCP) over metro- and local-scale
    IP networks that demonstrate comparable latency, reliability, and
    performance levels to that of a Fibre Channel network.  Most
    existing storage devices use the FCP protocol for data transport
    and error recovery.  mFCP leverages these existing mechanisms to
    facilitate high-performance interconnection of Fibre Channel-based
    storage devices over private IP networks.  All FCP mechanisms are
    transported natively over IP between Fibre Channel and SCSI storage
    devices.

    Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
    "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
    type "cd internet-drafts" and then
    	"get draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt".
    
    A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
    <http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html>

    Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
    
    Send a message to:
    	mailserv@ietf.org.
    In the body type:
    	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt".
    	
    NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
    	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
    	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
    	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
    	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
    	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
    	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
    	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
    	how to manipulate these messages.
    		
    		
    Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
    implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
    Internet-Draft.
