A
AL_PA
Arbitrated Loop Physical
Address, an 8-bit value used to
identify a participating device in
an arbitrated loop.
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.
B
