Ken,
The term FCoE has as its primary component
FC. Consider the possibility that the DCE Link from the Host connects to
a switch/device that is able to deal with the FC part of the FCoE.

Hey John,
[Hufferd] Many servers are asking for an
evolutionary way to combine their Networking connections from the Server.
The customers I have dealt with do NOT want to rip out FC, they want to provide
a single Link for transport of all networking needs, including storage, exiting
their servers.
I'm not sure what you are saying here. Are you
saying servers should have a single type of physical network connection,
presumably ethernet? How does that align with not wanting to rip out FC?
Thanks
Ken
