38、Upper Level Protocols (ULPs) such as Intelligent Peripheral Interface (IPI) and SmallComputer System Interface (SCSI) command sets, the High-Performance Parallel Interface(HIPPI) data framing, IP (Internet Protocol), ANSI/IEEE 802.2, and others. Proprietary andother command sets may also use and sha
39、re Fibre Channel, but such use is not defined aspart of Fibre Channel.This part of ISO/IEC 14165 is organized as follows:a) FC-0 defines the physical portions of Fibre channel including the fibre, connectors, andoptical and electrical parameters for a variety of data rates and physical media. Coax a
40、ndtwisted pair versions are defined for limited distance applications. FC-0 provides the point-to-point physical portion of Fibre Channel. A variety of physical media is supported toaddress variations in cable plants.b) FC-1 defines the transmission protocol which includes the serial encoding, decod
41、ing, anderror control.c) FC-2 defines the signaling protocol which includes the frame structure and bytesequences.d) FC-3 defines a set of services which are common across multiple ports of a node.e) FC-4 is the highest level in Fibre Channel. It defines the mapping between the lower levelsof Fibre
42、Channel and the IPI and SCSI command sets, the HIPPI data framing, IP, andother Upper Level Protocols (ULPs).Of these levels, FC-0, FC-1, and FC-2 are integrated into the ISO/IEC 14165-111, FC-PHdocument. The Fibre Channel protocol provides a range of implementation possibilitiesextending from minim
43、um cost to maximum performance. The transmission medium is isolatedfrom the control protocol so that each implementation may use a technology best suited to theenvironment of use.Figure 1 shows the relationship of this part of ISO/IEC 14165 (the highlighted rectangle) withother Fibre Channel documen
