what would use the Fiber Channel Protocol
 

On one of the switches where I work, we have a massive amount of out bound traffic using the fiber channel protocol; it’s about 99.9% of all the traffic. To me it sounds like a worm trying to replicate, but I’ve never heard of one using FC before, nor could I locate one in Norton’s data base.

Any help is greatly appreciated

What ever you're using that is saying it's the fibre channel protocol, does it say which part of the protocol?

FC-4 ULPs: IPI3, SCSI, HIPPI, IP, others
FC-3: Common Services
FC-2: Signalling Protocol (framing, link level)
FC-1: Transmission Protocol (8B/10B mapping)
FC-0: Covers both Interface (transmitters/receivers) and media
