Fibre Channel Fabrics: Evaluation and Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider how Fibre Channel switches can be cascaded to form a Fibre Channel fabric. We begin with an analytical model of topology performance that provides a theoretical upper bound on fabric per$ormance and a method for the practical evaluation of fabric topologies. We then consider the prevention of buffer-cycle deadlock in Fibre Channel networks. We show that though some topologies implicitly do not deadlock, these topologies have inferior throughput, and we present a technique for optimizing pelfonnance that takes into account both deadlock and traffic balancing.

Definitions of Managed Objects for Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP)
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP) entities, which are used to interconnect Fibre Channel (FC) fabrics with IP networks.

متن کاملStudy on heat and moisture vapour transmission characteristics through multilayered fabric ensembles
The present paper reports a detailed study on heat and moisture vapour transmission characteristics of different types of multilayered fabric ensembles. Two sets of multilayered fabrics have been prepared. In first set, two types of carded web produced from acrylic and polyester fibres with five different areal densities in each fibre type have been used as middle layer. In second set, differen...
متن کاملA Review on Drapeability of Natural Fibre-made Fabrics
Amongst the different property parameters of the produced fabric, drapeability of fabric is one of the crucial parameters with respect to end uses. It is the ability of fabric to hang freely in graceful folds when some area of it is supported over a surface and the rest is unsupported. During the application of different fabrics, both in industrial and apparel sector, it has been observed that ...
متن کاملCombustion characteristics of cellulosic loose fibres
The aim of this paper is to study the combustion characteristics of loose fibrous cellulosic compounds through cone calorimeter measurements. The challenge in studying loose fibrous materials by cone calorimeter in a reproducible manner is met by optimizing various process parameters such as sample weight, heat flux and grid type. The method is validated using cotton fibres and fabrics with a r...
