Re: iFCP and FCIP Difference

Both protocols ca be used to bridge SANs over IP networks.

Main differences are:

FCIP
tunnels FC through IP and merges the SANs. Used by most SAN vendors!

iFCP
routes between fabrics and can also be used for storage and server connections.
Not widely used by vendors!
