SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR ROUTING DATA

摘要

Provided herein are methods and systems for routing data. One embodiment comprises a network interconnection device comprising a switch, a SERDES and a bridge router. The switch is operable to receive data according to a plurality of channel protocols, such as Fibre Channel and Ethernet. The SERDES (serial encoder/decoder) is operable to transfer the received data to a host bus. The bridge router is operable to transfer the received data from the host bus to a bridged network according a network configuration.
