FCIP(Fibre Channel over IP) A protocol for tunneling Fibre Channel data across an IP network. Fibre Channel was designed for local storage area networks (SANs), but FCIP extends the distance to remote locations via any IP network. See Fibre Channel, iFCP and IP storage.

At first examination, the introduction of iSCSI and FCIP into the traditional Fibre Channel SAN may seem to argue against the use of virtualization and even pose a threat to Fibre Channel (FC) in general. FCIP works by encapsulating entire Fibre Channel frames in IP packets for transport across TCP/IP links. The network's improved reliability also means that users can connect to the storage system with FCIP instead of through expensive and limited fibre optic lines. |
