Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Fibre Channel Traffic over MPLS Networks
RFC 6307, “Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Fibre Channel Traffic over MPLS Networks”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2012 by D. Black, L. Dunbar, M. Roth, R. Solomon. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A Fibre Channel pseudowire (PW) is used to carry Fibre Channel traffic over an MPLS network. This enables service providers to take advantage of MPLS to offer "emulated" Fibre Channel services. This document specifies the encapsulation of Fibre Channel traffic within a pseudowire. It also specifies the common procedures for using a PW to provide a Fibre Channel service. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
