    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to protocol agnostic storage access with a software defined network (SDN). A method may include receiving, at a SDN enabled switch, an initialization packet to access a storage volume. The method may include determining, at the SDN enabled switch, a storage protocol used by the initialization packet, adding a protocol tag indicative of the storage protocol to the initialization packet, and sending the initialization packet to a SDN controller. The method may include identifying, at the SDN controller, a storage application based on the protocol tag and sending the initialization packet to the storage application. The storage application may be one of a plurality of storage applications, each associated with a different storage protocol. The method may include performing, by the storage application, protocol-specific tasks.

    Abstract translation: 示例性实施例涉及具有软件定义网络(SDN)的协议不可知存储访问。 一种方法可以包括在启用SDN的交换机上接收初始化分组以访问存储卷。 该方法可以包括在启用SDN的交换机上确定由初始化分组使用的存储协议,将指示存储协议的协议标签添加到初始化分组,以及将初始化分组发送到SDN控制器。 该方法可以包括在SDN控制器处基于协议标签识别存储应用,并将该初始化包发送到存储应用。 存储应用可以是多个存储应用中的一个,每个与不同的存储协议相关联。 该方法可以包括由存储应用程序执行特定于协议的任务。
