pc	10.25 pc	11.25 pc	38
		34.5 pc
FC-1		Middle level of the FC-PH standard, defining the 8B/10B
		encoding/decoding and transmission protocol.
FC-2		Highest level of FC-PH, defining the rules for signaling protocol and
		describing transfer of the frame, sequence, and exchanges.
FC-3		The hierarchical level in the FC standard that provides common services,
		such as striping definition.
FC-4		The hierarchical level in the FC standard that specifies the mapping of
		Upper Layer Protocols (ULPs) to levels below.
FCC		Federal Communications Commission.
FCP		Fibre Channel Protocol.
FDDI		Fiber Distributed Data Interface. ANSI option for a Metropolitan Area
		Network (MAN); a network based on the use of optical fiber cable to
		transmit data at 100 Mbits/s.
Fibre Channel		The common FC-4 level protocol for all services, transparent to the fabric
Service		type or topology.
pc Protocol (FSP)
File		A named collection of information stored on a disk.
Firmware		Software that is permanently stored in ROM. Therefore, it can be
		accessed during boot time.
F_Port		“Fabric” port, the access point of the fabric for physically connecting the
		user’s N_Port.
FL_Port		An F_Port that contains arbitrated loop functions.
Frame		A linear set of transmitted bits that define a basic transport element.
Hard Disk		A disk made of metal and permanently sealed into a drive cartridge. A
		hard disk can store very large amounts of information.
HAL		Hardware Abstraction Layer.
HIPPI		High Performance Parallel Interface, an 800 Mbits/s interface to
		supercomputer networks (formerly known as high speed channel)
		developed by ANSI.
