FCIP (Fibre Channel over IP) - Term Description

What is: FCIP (Fibre Channel over IP)
 
Description:
Network storage that combines Fibre Channel and the Internet Protocol (IP) to connect distributed SANs over large distances by encapsulating Fibre Channel and transporting it over a TCP socket. FCIP can use TCP/IP as the transport while keeping Fibre Channel fabric services intact. FCIP relies on TCP/IP services to connect devices between remote SANs over LANs, MANs, or WANs. FCIP makes a transparent point-to-point connection between physically separated SANs over IP networks, while relying on TCP/IP to manage congestion control and data error and data loss recovery.
