This is directed to providing Fiber Channel over Ethernet communication. For example a Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) enabled device (such as a computer) may include a Fiber Channel over Ethernet Adapter (FCoEA). The FCoEA may include an HBA module. The HBA module may be configured to communicate over the Fiber Channel protocol. The FCoE enabled device may process and encapsulate the HBA module's communication in order to send them over an Ethernet network instead. The FCoE enabled device may process communications directed to various Fiber Channel fabric services by utilizing existing Ethernet services, such as an iSNS server. Thus, the FCoE enabled device can emulate a Fiber Channel network for the HBA module using the Ethernet network and one or more Existing Ethernet services/servers.
