I assume this because from you description, iFCP removes FCIP headers and transports only the data portion of the FCP packet. Can you confirm this and are there any performance comparisons available that you know of? I understand that the two protocols have different end point considerations but if the performance is significantly different it could lend weight to one solution design over another.
