    摘要: A connection-oriented protocol controller has a prefetch engine to obtain payload data that is destined to a remote node, before a connection is established with the remote node. A number of buffers are provided. Each buffer is associated with a different remote node with which a connection is to be established. The payload data is to be sent to that node from its associated buffer. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a host bus adapter (HBA) is disclosed. The HBA includes one or more link layer engines, one or more ports, each of the one or more ports associated with one of the one or more link layer engines and token passing logic having a shift register associated with each of the one or more link layer engines. A first link layer engine enables a first storage device coupled to an associated port to spin-up whenever the first link layer engine detects that a first shift register has a first value.
