Detailed Fibre Channel Protocol Information

If it's not in this book you'd better hope you never need it! This book gives detailed byte-by-byte descriptions of data fields inside fibre channel packets, and even goes one step farther to describe how the individual light pulses get converted into those bytes.The only drawback is its age when compared to some of the moving standards. In a few cases, fibre channel (i.e. FC-SW) has been extended beyond what is in this book but I have yet to find any better reference.

An *EXCELLENT* Quick Reference for Fibre Channel

This book is very well organized and fun to read. It presents an extremely complicated topic in a clearly written and well-diagrammed fashion. It also presents with much more humour than is usually the case for books on engineering standards. I especially like a nearly blank page that is marked with "This page is blank, and we INTENDED it to be BLANK! Make the flow of things nicer, doesn't it?".This book is now some years old, but the information contained within is still valid, and this is a must for all engineers who want to understand both the software and hardware issues with Fibre Channel.
