光纤通道轻量协议(Fibre Channel Lightweight Protocol, FC-AE-FCLP)是光纤通道航空电子环境的5种高层协议之一。为研究FC-AE-FCLP网络性能, 在研究光纤通道轻量协议的基础上, 提出其在OPNET Modeler中的建模方法。采用网络层次化方法构建了节点模型、进程模型和网络模型, 并对航电系统交换型拓扑结构进行了仿真。通过网络性能仿真分析得出该网络传输大数据块时具有延迟抖动小、吞吐量高的优点, 因此FC-AE-FCLP网络特别适合航电系统大块数据的传输。

Fiber Channel Lightweight Protocol(FC-AE-FCLP)is one of the five high-level protocols in fiber channel avionic environment. In order to study the performance of the FC-AE-FCLP network, a modeling method in OPNET Modeler was proposed based on the study to FC-AE-FCLP, in which layered modeling method was used to build up the FC-AE-FCLP node model, process model and network model. Simulation was carried out to the switching topology of avionic network. Analysis to the simulation result showed that the FC-AE-FCLP network has the advantages of small jitter of delay and high throughput when transferring large data blocks. Therefore, it is suitable for the bulk data transmission in the avionic system.
