Arbitrated loop
1. It is one kind of loop topological structure.
2. The sender of a node transmit data to the
next node's receiver. The device can only
access the links through the arbitrated
loop.
3. The beginning device serves as control
node of the loop.
Point to point
1. The simplest topological structure.
2. Allow the communications between
nodes.
3. A host can connect to a disk array through
fabric channel, and then realize the
application of DAS.
Switch
1. When connecting servers and storage
devices, use the topological structure
based on the FC switch.
2. Switches can connect with each other, and
construct a highly hybrid network system
by connecting with a loop network.
