Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a direct mapping of Fibre Channel over lossless Ethernet being defined by the FC-BB-5 working group of the INCITS T11 Technical Committee. This paper presents a summary of the Fibre Channel architecture, elaborates the extensions needed for Ethernet to be lossless, and discusses the architectural models of FCoE, the way in which Fibre Channel frames are mapped into Ethernet frames, the addressing structures used by FCoE, and the control protocol that allows FCoE to be seamlessly integrated in the existing Fibre Channel environments.
