NAME

fcoei - Fibre Channel Over Ethernet Initiator Mode Driver

SYNOPSIS

fcoei@port,0

DESCRIPTION

The fcoei driver is a pseudo device driver which encapsulates the raw
Fibre Channel frames into FCoE ethernet frames, or decapsulates FC
frames from FCoE ethernet frames. The supported FC frames include
extended/basic link services, common transport frames and initiator
mode FCP frames.


The fcoei driver interfaces with the Sun Fibre Channel port driver,
fp(4D), and the FCoE transport driver, fcoe(4D).
