Abstract: A data storage system includes a storage server, including non-volatile memory (NVM) and a server network interface controller (NIC), which couples the storage server to a network. A host computer includes a host central processing unit (CPU), a host memory and a host NIC, which couples the host computer to the network. The host computer runs a driver program that is configured to receive, from processes running on the host computer, commands in accordance with a protocol defined for accessing local storage devices connected to a peripheral component interface bus of the host computer, and upon receiving a storage access command in accordance with the protocol, to initiate a remote direct memory access (RDMA) operation to be performed by the host and server NICs so as to execute on the storage server, via the network, a storage transaction specified by the command.

Abstract: A method for data storage includes configuring a driver program on a host computer to receive commands in accordance with a protocol defined for accessing local storage devices connected to a peripheral component interface bus of the host computer. When the driver program receives, from an application program running on the host computer a storage access command in accordance with the protocol, specifying a storage transaction, a remote direct memory access (RDMA) operation is performed by a network interface controller (NIC) connected to the host computer so as to execute the storage transaction via a network on a remote storage device.

Abstract: A method for communication in a packet data network including a subnet containing multiple nodes having respective ports. The method includes assigning respective local identifiers to the ports in the subnet, such that each port receives a respective local identifier that is unique within the subnet to serve as an address for traffic within the subnet that is directed to the port. In addition to the local identifiers, respective port identifiers are assigned to the ports, such that at least one of the port identifiers is shared by a plurality of the ports, but not by all the ports, in the subnet. The plurality of the ports are addressed collectively using the at least one of the port identifiers.
