Asynchronous Transfer Mode. Transport for transmitting data over LANs or
WANs that transmit fixed-length units of data. Provides any-to-any
connectivity and allows nodes to transmit simultaneously.
Arbitration Wait Timeout Value. The minimum time an arbitrating L_Port
waits for a response before beginning loop initialization.
The total transmission capacity of a link, cable, or system.
Buffer-to-buffer credit. The number of frames that can be transmitted to a
directly connected recipient or within an arbitrated loop. Determined by
number of available receive buffers. See also Buffer-to-buffer flow control,
EE_Credit.
The disparity at the transmitter or receiver when the special character
associated with an ordered set is encoded or decoded. See also Disparity.
Bit Error Rate. Rate at which bits are expected to be received in error.
Expressed as ratio of error bits to total bits transmitted. See also Error.
The delivery of correctly clocked bits at the required BER. See also BER.
As applied to fibre channel, upper-level application data that is transferred
in a single sequence.
Transmission of data from a single source to all devices in fabric, regardless
of zoning. See also Multicast, Unicast.
Management of frame transmission rate between directly-connected ports or
within an arbitrated loop. See also BB_Credit.
Two or more interconnected fibre channel switches.
Established communication path between ports. Consists of two virtual
circuits that transmit in opposite directions. See also Link.
A connection-oriented service that provides a dedicated connection between
two ports, with notification of delivery or nondelivery.
A multiplex and connectionless frame switching service between two ports,
with notification of delivery or nondelivery.
