Why FCoE? I think the correct answer is vDC as it can separate a physical switch into multiple logical domains. This will minimize the spanning tree protocol in the data center since two links from one switch to another switch can now be in 2 separate vDC and they will not create a loop.

but why not the 802.1ad the lacp minimize the effect of STP , when you attach a switch to another with 3 cable without lacp two links will be blocked by stp , but with the sue of LACP the tree links work taugather and with out stp blocked link.

A Cisco Answer, that is why. Fiber Channel Networks do not use STP at all, so this answer makes little sense to me. A vDC partitions a physical N7K switch but it does not minimize the use of STP within a Layer 2 Domain. A better answer than FCoE would be MEC (multi-chassis etherchannel)
