Data transfer protocol for data replication between multiple pairs of storage controllers on a san fabric |
摘要 |
A system for communicating between two devices in a network in which a semi-persistent tunnel is established between the two devices in advance of data communication. The semi-persistent tunnel includes resources that are pre-allocated in a first device at a first end of the communication link by a second device at the second end of the communication link. The first and second devices implement a plurality of processes for handling data transfer operations. Preferably, the semi-persistent tunnel also includes resources that are pre-allocated in a device at the second end of the communication link by the device at the first end of the communication link to allow bi-directional communication. Data transfer operations transmitted through the tunnel include an identification of specific resources of the pre-allocated resources that are to handle the data transfer operation. Data transfer operations also include a vector identifying a particular process among the plurality of processes that implement the data transfer operation. |
