address identifier.
A 24-bit or 8-bit value used to
identify the source or destination of a frame.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
In the Internet
suite of protocols, the protocol that dynamically maps an
Internet Protocol (IP) address to an address used by a
supporting metropolitan or local area network such as
Ethernet or token-ring.
alias address identifier.
An address identifier
recognized by a port in addition to its standard identifier.
An alias address identifier can be shared by multiple
ports.
alias server.
A fabric software facility that supports
multicast group management.

application programming interface (API).
A defined
protocol that allows applications to interface with a set
of services.
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
In
computer chip design, an integrated circuit created by
first mounting an array of unconnected logic gates on a
substrate and later connecting these gates in a a
particular configuration for a specific application. This
design approach allows chips for a variety of
applications to be made from the same generic gate
array, thereby reducing production costs.
ARB.
See
arbitrate primitive signal
.
arbitrate primitive signal (ARB).
A primitive signal
that is transmitted as the fill word by a loop port (L_port)
to indicate that the L_port is arbitrating to access to the
loop. Applies only to the arbitrated loop topology.
arbitrated loop.
A shared 100 MBps Fibre Channel
transport structured as a loop and supporting up to 126
devices and one fabric attachment. A port must
successfully arbitrate before a circuit can be
established.
arbitrated loop physical address (AL_PA).
An 8-bit
value used to identify a participating device in an
arbitrated loop.
