Abstract
A technique for providing multiple Fiber Channel frames in one frame-mapped GFP transport frame. GFP conventions are followed, except that a Distributed Delimiter marks each Fiber Channel frame in the payload of GFP transport frame. The Distributed Delimiter has a Fixed Pattern field which varies distinctly from the special K28.5 character which indicates Fiber Channel Ordered Sets and has a Frame Length field to indicate the length of the Fiber Channel frame.
