  • Infiniband/fibre channel bridge architecture
    Patent number: 7571272
    Abstract: A bridge comprises an InfiniBand channel adapter, a fiber channel adapter, a command path, and a data path. The command path is coupled to the InfiniBand channel adapter and the fiber channel adapter; and the command path is operable to receive commands from a first of the InfiniBand and fiber channel adapters, to process the received commands, and to transmit the processed command to the other of the InfiniBand and fiber channel adapters. The data path is coupled to the InfiniBand adapter and fiber channel adapter, and is operable to transfer data from the first of the InfiniBand and fiber channel adapters to the other of InfiniBand and fiber channel adapters.
