    iFCP - FCIP merge proposal



    Dear colleagues,
    
    At yesterdays IPS WG meeting and had no chance to clarify my proposal 
    regarding a merger of FCIP and iFCP into a single effort.
    
    iFCP attempt to provide an IP interconnect for FCP devices. It has also the 
    capabilty to interconnect FC islands.
    
    FCIP has the narrower scope of connecting only FC islands - admittedly even 
    FC devices other then FCP.
    
    Given that FCP devices where the main concern of this WG and that iFCP 
    serves a wider purpose than FCIP and will enable not only tunneling but also 
    migration of FCP devices to IP infrastructure my intention was to suggest 
    that iFCP should attempt to incorporate those FCIP functions it does not 
    care about today and those two groups should work towards one common draft 
    that should cover not only tunneling but also device migration to IP 
    networks.
