Method and apparatus for transferring data between IP network devices and SCSI and fibre channel devices over an IP network

摘要: A method and apparatus for transferring data between IP devices (including, but not limited to, Gigabit Ethernet devices) SCSI or Fibre Channel devices. The device interfaces may be either SCSI, such as Ethernet. Data is switched IP, Channel. can also from to FC FC. port provide the conversion input frame format an internal format, which routed within apparatus. amount of processing performed by each interface dependent on type. capabilities present invention permit rapid transfer information packets multiple at latency levels meeting stringent requirements storage protocols. configuration control applied a switch and, in turn, network, via SNMP Web-based interface, providing flexible, programmable
