HP Brocade 4Gb SAN c-Class BladeSystem 81

K28.5	A special 10-bit character that indicates the beginning of a
	transmission word that performs FC control and signaling
	functions. The ﬁrst seven bits are the common pattern.
kernel ﬂash	Flash (temporary) memory connected to the peripheral bus of
	the processor and visible within the processor’s memory space.
	Also called a user ﬂash.
L_Port	Loop port. A node port (NL_Port) or fabric port (FL_Port) that
	has arbitrated loop capabilities. An L_Port can be in one of
	two modes:
	• Fabric mode: Connected to a port that is not loop capable
	and is using fabric protocol.
	• Loop mode: In an arbitrated loop and using loop protocol.
	An L_Port in loop mode can also be in participating mode
	or non-participating mode.
	See also non-participating mode.
latency	The time required to transmit a frame from the time it is sent
	until it arrives. Together, latency and bandwidth deﬁne the
	speed and capacity of a link or system.
link	With respect to FC, a physical connection between two ports,
	consisting of both transmit and receive ﬁbers.
link services	A protocol for link-related actions.
LIP	Loop initialization primitive. The signal that begins initialization
	in a loop. It indicates either loop failure or the resetting of
	a node.
LM_TOV	Loop master time-out value. The minimum time that the loop
	master waits for a loop initialization sequence to return.
loop failure	Loss of signal within a loop for any period of time; loss of
	synchronization for longer than the time-out value.
Loop_ID	A hexadecimal value representing one of the 127 possible
	AL_PA values in an arbitrated loop. See also AL_PA.
loop initialization	The logical procedure used by an L_Port to discover its
	environment. Can be used to assign AL_PA addresses, detect
	loop failure, or reset a node. See also AL_PA.
LPSM	Loop port state machine. The logical entity that performs
	arbitrated loop protocols and deﬁnes the behavior of L_Ports
	when they require access to an arbitrated loop. See also L_Port.
