<abstract>
<t>Fibre Channel (FC) is a high speed serial interface technology that  supports several higher layer protocols including Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) and Internet Protocol(IP). Until now, SCSI has been the only widely used protocol over FC.Existing FC standardsdo not adequately specify how IP packets may be transported over  FC and how IP addresses are resolved to FC addresses. The purpose of this document is to specify a way of encapsulating IP and Address Resolution Protocol(ARP) over Fibre Channel and also to describe a mechanism(s) for IP address resolution.</t></abstract></front>
