Ordered Set
A transmission word with a special character in its most significant position and data characters in the remaining three positions.
An Ordered Set is identified by the combination of special codes and data bytes that, when encoded, result in the generation of the transmission characters specified for the ordered set. Ordered Sets are used for low-level Fibre Channel link functions such as frame demarcation, signaling between the ends of a link, initialization after power on, and some basic recovery actions.
