filtering bridge can be multimode fiber (MMF) of either 62.5µ (300 meters) or 50µ (500 meters, maximum distance), or single-mode fiber (SMF) (50+ km). Fibre Channel over IP (FC/IP) technology extends Fibre Channel to operate through secure tunnels over long-haul public IP networks.The line coding technique is 8B/10B, which encodes each 8-bit byte into a 10-bit symbol, which adds a 25% overhead factor. Fibre Channel operates in full duplex (FDX) at 1 Gbps (200 MBps), 2 Gbps (400 MBps), 4 Gbps (800 MBps), and 10 Gbps (2400 MBps or 2.4 GBps). Gateways are responsible for protocol conversion to support interconnection to telecom networks such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and SONET, as well as ESCON, FICON and SCSI SANs and Ethernet LANs.
