RE: FCIP: How many LEPS are there in a FCIP entity

Barry:

We have a productive closure on the FC-BB-2 Model this week at Austin T11
meeting and I will be putting out a new rev with the correct model in the
near future that will have the corrrect descriptions of the number of LEPs.
But here is a brief summary:

There can be multiple instances of FC/FCIP Entity. Each FC/FCIP instance,
can multiple instances of  VE_Port/LEP. Each LEP can have multiple Data
Engines.

Hope this helps.

I am a bit confused between what is being shown in figure 4 of draft 07 and
clause 13.2.2.2.2 of FC-BB-2 (rev 5.2 Nov 30).

One appears to say there can be multiple LEPs in a FCIP entity and the other
appears to restrict implementations to a single LEP in a FCIP entity. If it
is multiple LEPs in a FCIP entity when would one use this?
