The “Fibre” or “link” refers to the copper or optical cable that connects two Fibre Channel devices via
their ports. A device, known as a “node”, can have more than one port. For example, the Zeus
IOPS
SSD is a node with two ports that is linked with a copper cable, or fibre.
Nodes are connected in a “topology”. The SSD may be connected to an “Arbitrated Loop” (AL), where
the nodes of the loop are connected in a circle. See Figure 4.
