Public Loop
Public loop consists of the private loop through the multiple FL_Port or N_Port device
through the multiple F_Port. (Shown as Figure 1.22)
The FL_Port is the gateway to the Fabric for the Public NL_Ports on its Local Loop, allowing
NL_Ports to act as if they were N_Ports and interact with other N_Ports and NL_Ports
attached to the fabric.
It can be communicated with all devices connected with F_Port/FL_Port. (ex. NFS Client can
be communicated with SCSI Device #6 etc.)
