Abstract:
Apparatus and methods improved fair access to a Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) communication medium through a bridge device. The enhanced bridge device provides for a fair access in a currently open access window for all presently requesting devices coupled through the bridge device to the FC-AL communication medium. Thus all devices on the loop whether coupled directly or through a bridge device can be assured fair access to the loop when there are simultaneous requests during an open access window.
