Network convergence - role in I/O virtualization

•What is a converged network?• A single network capable of

transmitting both Ethernet and storage traffic

•What is required to converge Fibre Channel?• Encapsulate FC frames into Ethernet Frames

– Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

• Enhance Ethernet to ensure reliability in congested networks

– Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) a.k.a. “lossless” Ethernet
