ISO/IEC 14165-141:2001

OVERVIEW

This part of ISO/IEC 14165 describes generic

requirements for a communications transport

medium called the Fabric, an entity that provides

switched interconnect between pairs of

user attachment points. Fabrics may be implemented

using one or more topologies and this

document describes requirements that are generic

across all topologies.

A companion document, ISO/IEC 14165-111,

Fibre Channel - Physical and Signaling Interface

(FC-PH), describes the physical interface,

transmission protocol, and signaling protocol of

high-performance serial links which attach user

nodes to the Fabric. The Fabric serves to extend

these serial links between pairs of attachment

points. ISO/IEC 14165-111, FC-PH also

describes features and behaviors of the Fabric

required by user nodes.
