Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is an encapsulation protocol that enables the transport of Fiber Channel storage traffic over a version of Ethernet called Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE). FCoE encapsulates the entire Fiber Channel frame, keeping it intact and unchanged, into CEE frames.
With FCoE, organizations can configure their servers with Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), from Brocade or third-party vendors, to allow the flow of Fiber Channel SAN traffic and networking LAN traffic over common CEE links.
