I don't see your point here.
We have bit-oriented PWs, and byte oriented ones,
and cell-oriented ones.

Well, it is simplest to understand how to convert
FCIP into a PW, since it is based on a tunnel
through the IP network.

However, there aer quite a few SANs that iSCSI,
in fact there are a few tremendously large iSCSI networks.
iSCSI runs over TCP/IP, and thus gets bogged down in routers.
It would seem that upgrading iSCSI to tunneling over MPLS would 
be a natural speed-up, considering the datarates.
