Abstract
The Serial Storage Architecture and Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop inte rfaces offer a simple cabling system, higher bandwidth, the ability to connect more than 100 disks, fault tolerance, and fair accesses on th e channel. This article investigates the performance of these two emer ging serial-storage interfaces for fairness, latency, overhead, and ag gregate throughput under various traffic loads.
