  • The FC-BB-6 committee is proposing a new FIP usage model called
    VN_port to VN_port mode. It allows VN_ports to discover each other
    over a loss-free L2 Ethernet without any FCF or Fibre-channel fabric
    services. This is point-to-multipoint. There is also a variant
    of this called point-to-point which provides for making sure there
    is just one pair of ports operating over the Ethernet fabric.

    This patch defines the new message type and subtypes as well as
    one new descriptor type used by VN2VN mode.

    These are all still at the proposed stage and subject to change.

  • When the D bit is set if the FKA_ADV_Period of the FIP Discovery
    Advertisement, the ENode should not transmit period ENode FIP Keep Alive and
    VN_Port FIP Keep Alive (FC-BB-5 Rev2, 7.8.3.13).

    Note that fcf->flags is taken directly from the fip_header, I am claiming one
    bit for the purpose of the FIP_FKA_Period D bit as FIP_FL_FK_ADV_B, and use
    FIP_HEADER_FLAGS as bitmask for bits used in fip_header.
