Glossary A F ANSI An acronym for the American National Standards Institute, the coordinating organization for voluntary standards in the United States. Arbitrated loop topology Fibre Channel topology that provides a low-cost solution to attach multiple communicating ports in a loop without switches. Asynchronous SCSI signals are transmitted one at a time down the SCSI communication path. ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode C CDB An acronym for the Command Descriptor Block. CRC An acronym for Cyclic Redundancy Check. An errorcorrecting code used in Fibre Channel. Fabric Fibre Channel-defined interconnection methodology that supports high-speed data routing in Fibre Channel networks. FC-AL An acronym for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop topology. FC-SW An acronym for Fibre Channel Switched topology. The highest performance Fibre Channel fabric, providing a choice of multiple path routings between pairs of F-ports. FDDI An acronym for the Fibre Distributed Data Interface. ANSI's architecture for a Metropolitan Area Network; a network based on the use of optical fibre cable to transmit data at 100 MBsc Fibre Bridge Bi-directional connectivity for data transfers between Fibre and SCSI. D Differential SCSI A SCSI implementation that allows a cable length of up to 25 meters. Glossary Glos-1
