HOWARD HICKSON'S HISTORIES [Index] Elko: The First 100 Years Elko was the end of the tracks laid from the west by the Central Pacific Railroad in 1868.

This simplicity is a strength of FCoE, but it limits end-to-end deployments to a class of devices that understand both the Ethernet and the Fibre Channel stacks (dual-stack switches called FCoE forwarders [FCFs] in T11 parlance).iven a physical Ethernet interface on an FCoE device (or, more accurately, what FC-BB-5 calls an FCoE controller behind that interface), the FCoE device must establish all the virtual links for which that physical interface is configured.
