This standard describes the framing and signaling interface of a high performance serial link for support of FC-4sassociated with upper level protocols (e.g., SCSI, IP, SBCCS, VI).FC-FS (along with FC-PI) is the combination of the FC-PH [1], its amendments 1 [2] and 2 [3], FC-PH-2 [4] andFC-PH-3 [5] standards. This standard also deletes or obsoletes outdated functions and features from thosestandards. This standard includes additional link services in support of new functions defined by the Fibre Channelfamily of documents and includes improvements and clarifications to the definitions of existing services as dictatedby experience with existing implementations. This standard also defines and includes other capabilities that shallimprove the performance of existing Fibre Channel products and fit those products for new applications.
