Nigel has a nice FCoE post up. It makes one think that with the chatter in recent days and the repeated questions I'm getting it's clear that there's an entire bunch of vendor flapheads out there who either don't understand the technology correctly or are intentionally obscuring it's limititations in order to make a sale today with the hope if they stall long enough the technology will catch up to their hype much much later.
Idiots to the left, liars to the right.
On top of Nigel's post I'm linking to the EMC FCoE Techbook which breaks down what FCoE is and then goes up to it's eyeballs in topologies concerns and configurations with regard to how you can start using FCoE today without having a big gap where the idiots or the liars have fudged the tech.
It's regularly updated as new technology comes on stream and FCoE advances so keep an eye on it.
