RFC 3821: Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7146. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP) describes mechanisms that allow the interconnection of islands of Fibre Channel storage area networks over IP-based networks to form a unified storage area network in a single Fibre Channel fabric. FCIP relies on IP-based network services to provide the connectivity between the storage area network islands over local area networks, metropolitan area networks, or wide area networks.
