ANSI/INCITS 287-1996

Provides a common method for encapsulating ISO/IEC 8802-2 (IEEE Std. 802.2) Logical Link Control Protocol Data Units (PDUs) over Fibre Channel (FC). It also provides support for other related Protocols. The purpose of this standard is to facilitate the development and use of FC in computer systems by providing systems to communicate with one another using ULP?s that are already in common use with other media. The standard permits, but does describe, concurrent operation of other protocols over FC.
