SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING HOST CHANNEL ADAPTER (HCA) FILTERING IN AN ENGINEERED SYSTEM FOR MIDDLEWARE AND APPLICATION EXECUTION

摘要

A system and method can provide a data service in a network environment. The network environment can include a node, which supports a data service component that can provide a data service. Additionally, a filter can be provided on a networking device, such as a host channel adaptor (HCA) that is associated with the node. The networking device operates to use the filter to identify one or more packets targeting the data service component without protocol termination. Furthermore, the filter can forward said one or more packets to the data service component.

1. A system for providing a data service in a network environment, comprising:
one or more microprocessors; a node, running on said one or more microprocessors, wherein the node includes a data service component that operates to provide the data service; and a networking device, associated with the node, operates to
use a filter to identify one or more packets targeting the data service component without protocol termination; andforward said one or more packets to the data service component.
