HP’s DLSAP Address Format for Fibre Channel

The four possible formats for Fibre Channel are:

•802.2 SAP format

N_Port_Id Process Associator FC_Type DSAP/SSAP

•802.2 SAP without Process Associator format

N_Port_Id FC_Type DSAP/SSAP

•SNAP/SAP format

Certain DLS providers require the capability of binding on multiple DLSAP addresses. This can be achieved through subsequent binding of DLSAP addresses. DLPI supports peer and hierarchical binding of DLSAPs. When the user requests peer addressing, the DLSAP speciﬁed in a subsequent bind may be used in lieu of the DLSAP bound in the DL_BIND_REQ. This will allow for a choice to be made between a number of DLSAPs on a stream when determining trafﬁc based on DLSAP values. An example of this would be to specify various ether_type values as DLSAPs. The DL_BIND_REQ, for example, could be issued with an ether_type value of IP, and a subsequent bind could be issued with an ether_type value of ARP. The provider may now multiplex off the ether_type ﬁeld and allow for either IP or ARP trafﬁc to be sent up this stream.

When the DLS user requests hierarchical binding, the subsequent bind will specify a DLSAP that will be used in addition to the DLSAP bound using a DL_BIND_REQ. This will allow additional information to be speciﬁed, that will be used in a header or used for demultiplexing. An example of this would be to use hierarchical bind to specify the Organizational Unique Identiﬁer (OUI) to be used by SNAP.

If a DLS provider supports peer subsequent bind operations, the ﬁrst SAP that is bound is used as the source SAP when there is ambiguity.
