The logical procedure used by an L_Port to discover its
environment. Can be used to assign AL_PA addresses, detect

Loop port state machine. The logical entity that performs
arbitrated loop protocols and defines the behavior of L_Ports
when they require access to an arbitrated loop. See also L_Port.
