Abstract:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a first Fiber Channel (FC) switch configured to be operatively coupled to an FC network device and a second FC switch. The first FC switch is configured to receive, from the FC network device, a first control packet. The first FC switch is further configured to send to the second FC switch, based on the first control packet, a second control packet defined based on a decentralized control plane protocol. The second control packet includes information associated with an FC route that is associated with the FC network device such that the second FC switch can route FC data packets to the FC network device using an FC data plane protocol.
