Abstract

Enlightening a convergence of LAN and SAN engenders Fibre Channel over Ethernet Technology as one of the significantly important Ethernet Enhancements. Fibre Channel over Ethernet being a storage protocol, is proposed mapping of Fibre channel frames over existing Ethernet. Wireshark, an open source traffic analyzer, captures the live packets and provides detailed description of packet in the form of Trace Files containing hexadecimal values. These hexadecimal values represent the fields of frame format for the traffic it carries. This paper enlists steps showing equivalence between contents of the trace file and the fields of Ethernet Frame Format. We propose that in FCoE environment, similarly we can co-relate our FCoE trace file and FCoE Frame Format. This paper provides an approach which proves beneficial for all those who wish to add their contributions in the world of FCoE regarding the reserved fields in the FCoE Frame Format. Mapping of trace file values with Frame Format fields will clear understanding whether the fields represent Time stamp or the length.
