FC-1 Layer

FC-1, also known as FC-PH, is the data link layer in the Fibre Channel protocols. FC-1 implements the 8b/10b encoding and decoding of signals. FC-1 defines the transmission protocol including serial encoding and decoding rules, special characters and error control. The transmission code must be DC balanced to support the electrical requirements of the receiving units. The Transmission Characters ensure, that short-run lengths and enough transitions are present in the serial bit stream to make clock recovery possible
