The Generic Framing Procedure (GFP): An Overview (Citations: 20)
Enrique Hernandez-Valencia, Zhenyu Zhu
The Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) is a recently standardized traffic adaptation protocol for broadband transport applications. It provides an efficiency and QoS-friendly mechanism to map either a physical layer or logical link layer signal to a byte-synchronous channel. It also sup- ports basic client control functions for client management purposes. This article presents a brief overview of GFP.

Data Transport Applications Using GFP (Citations: 8)
Mike Scholten, Zhenyu Zhu, Enrique Hernandez-Valencia
An emerging generic framing procedure (GFP) standard defines a new data encapsulation protocol designed to accept and transport multi- ple protocols over metropolitan, storage, and wide area networks. Why is another data encap- sulation method needed for transporting data traffic over WANs? How does GFP encapsulate data for transport?
