Does TCP/IP have a future?
Network Convergence is a hot topic nowadays. This is driven
mostly by storage networking. The first products which can
deliver Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) are starting to
appear even now. There are a couple of drivers for
developing Ethernet for storage networks:
- Ethernet development is ahead of Fibre Channel and
Infiniband in terms of speed - Common network layer simplifies infrastructure
management - Reduction in the number of network interfaces and thus
initial hardware cost
