Internet Fibre Channel Protocol. A proposed IETF protocol for connecting Fibre Channel devices over an IP network. IFCP, which uses the same frame-encapsulation technique as FCIP, relies on TCP (transmission control protocol) to control congestion and handle error detection and recovery. Where necessary, iFCP also intercepts and emulates the fabric services required by a Fibre Channel device. For more detail, see http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ips-ifcp-14.txt
