1. A circuit configured to process one or more fibre channel and SCSI frames of data, the circuit comprising:

  • one or more gates corresponding to a number of bits to be validated that validate format information included in a frame of data with simultaneous bit by bit comparisons, wherein error information is written in the frame of data if an error is found in the format information; and

    one or more gates corresponding to a number of bits to be validated that validate command information included in the frame of data with simultaneous bit by bit comparisons, wherein error information is written in the frame of data if an error is found in the command information,wherein the error information for the format information or command information is used in processing a storage operation for the frame of data,wherein the validation of the format information and command information is performed at wirespeed.
