A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Storage Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: iFCP - A Protocol for Internet Fibre Channel Storage 
                          Networking
	Author(s)	: C. Monia et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ips-ifcp-00.txt
	Pages		: 48
	Date		: 21-Feb-01
	
This document specifies iFCP, a gateway-to-gateway protocol for the
implementation of a Fibre Channel fabric in which TCP/IP switching
and routing elements replace Fibre Channel components. The
protocol enables the attachment of existing Fibre Channel storage
products to an IP network by supporting the subset of fabric
services required by such devices.
The encapsulation described in this version of the document is
obsolete.  It will be replaced by an encapsulation format which
will be common to both the iFCP and FCIP protocols.

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.
