You can read up on these and other IP Storage RFC's as a start.

iFCP RFC 4172. Related RFCs include 4171

(iSNS), 4174 (DHCP option for iSNS) and 4369 (MIB for iFCP)

FCIP RFC 3821, related RFCs include

3822 (SLPv2 for FCIP) and 4404 (MIB for FCIP).

Both iFCP and FCIP are based on RFC 3643 and the ANSI T11 FC-BB-x standards.

RFC for iSCSI 3720 , related iSCSI Naming and Discovery RFC 3721

Note: Cisco supports iSCSI and FCIP. The FCIP function in the MDS9000 Platform has many features that provide an advanced functions over iFCP.
