A port within a node that is capable of arbitrated loop operations.
N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) enables a single Fibre Channel protocol port to
appear as multiple, distinct ports, providing separate port identification
within the fabric for each operating system image behind the port (as if each
operating system image had its own unique physical port).
A Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapter (HBA) feature that enables you to
permanently assign a system SCSI target ID to a specific FC device, even
though the device's ID on the FC loop may be different each time the FC loop
initializes.

A generic reference to an N_Port, NL_Port, F_Port, FL_Port, E_Port, or other
type of Fibre Channel port.
A 64-bit unique identifier assigned to each Fibre Channel port. The port name
is communicated during the login and port discovery processes.
The maximum amount of time that a frame may be in transit in the topology.
If a frame has not been delivered within this amount of time, the topology
guarantees that it will never be delivered.
Remote port in a fabric. A remote port is a port that is physically separated
from the adapter.
A protocol defined for providing network management and monitoring
functions.
