摘要: A method for communicating between a first Fibre Channel (FC) enabled device and second FC device, where the communication occurs across fabric that operates in accordance with protocol different from of devices. The includes receiving, at gateway receiver sequence bytes including least one control character protocol. then replacing data character. also generating an encapsulation header footer encapsulating which was replaced setting indicator if byte received is end frame last
