| help | |
| The fcst kernel module implements an SCST target driver for the FCoE | |
| protocol. FCoE or Fibre Channel over Ethernet is a protocol that | |
| allows to communicate fibre channel frames over an Ethernet | |
| network. Since the FCoE protocol requires a lossless Ethernet | |
| network, special network adapters and switches are required. | |
| Ethernet network adapters that support FCoE are called Converged | |
| Network Adapters (CNA). The standard that makes lossless Ethernet | |
| communication possible is called DCB or Data Center Bridging. Since | |
| FCoE frames are a kind of Ethernet frames, communication between | |
| FCoE clients and servers is limited to a single Ethernet broadcast | |
| domain. |
