In the past post a person named Rene posted nice a RSCN description:

Hi,

Registered State Change Notifications (RSCNs) can theoretically
interrupt fc traffic of members of the same zone. RSCNs can be sent if
one HBA connects to the internal switch name server - in fact there
are HBA drivers outsite that allows to disable that feature. Anyway,
the most easy way to stop RSCNs impact on other host is to follow one
golden rule: Never ever build zones with more than one HBA inside.
