Hi,
  I am new member of this group. I just now went thru the FCIP draft. Have
some questions and suggestions about. I am very new to this so please
correct me if I have written anything wrong.

1. section 4->4) Class 1 FC frames( and some signals) are not transmitted
across an FCIP link. Since purpose of FCIP is to replace end-to-end fiber.
So, how these frames will be transfered ?

2. section 5.2 , fig.2 FCIP Link Model is little bit confusing. Instead of
writing FCIP on one side and Link on other side, it will be good if FCIP
Link is written both side.

3. section 5.6.2.1 and 5.6.2.2. If someone is doing TCP checksum validation,
is it required to do 5.6.2.2 checks ? At least test j) is not required ?

4. Once TCP payload will have only one FC frame or it can have multiple FC
frame ? Its not mentioned anywhere, but from the section 5.6.2.2 and 5.6.2.3
it seems to me that it can have multiple FC frame ?
