摘要： A system and method of digital communication wherein a host on an InfiniBand network transmits Fibre Channel packets encapsulated within InfiniBand packets to a gateway which forwards the Fibre Channel packets to Fibre Channel device via a Fibre Channel network, and wherein Fibre Channel packets addressed to a host on an InfiniBand network are transmitted by a Fibre Channel device to a gateway, the gateway encapsulating the Fibre Channel packets within InfiniBand packets and transmitting the InfiniBand packets to an InfiniBand host, where the Fibre Channel packet is extracted.

摘要： A method for preventing deadlock in communication between a host software application and a network interface card (NIC), comprises writing a doorbell associated with at least one descriptor having a descriptor context to a buffer in the NIC, dropping at least one doorbell from the buffer if the buffer is full, thereby allowing a write of a new doorbell to the buffer, and recovering each dropped doorbell for further execution of descriptors associated with this doorbell. The descriptor execution is in order of posting by the application to the NIC. A system implementing the method comprises a doorbell drop mechanism and a doorbell recovery mechanism.

摘要： A method and system for digital communication wherein nodes exchange messages at a first data rate in order to coordinate testing at a second, higher data rate. After testing is completed, the nodes exchange test results at the first data rate, and if conditions are satisfactory for operation at the second data rate user data are transmitted at the second data rate. Otherwise, user data are transmitted at the first data rate.

摘要： A network interface adapter includes an outgoing packet generator, adapted to generate an outgoing request packet for delivery to a remote responder responsive to a request submitted by a host processor and a network output port, coupled to transmit the outgoing request packet over a network to the remote responder. A network input port receives an incoming response packet from the remote responder, in response to the outgoing request packet sent thereto, as well as an incoming request packet sent by a remote requester. An incoming packet processor receives and processes both the incoming response packet and the incoming request packet, and causes the outgoing packet generator, responsive to the incoming request packet, to generate, in addition to the outgoing request packet, an outgoing response packet for transmission to the remote requester.

摘要： A network interface adapter includes a network interface, coupled to send and receive data packets over a network and a host interface, for coupling to a host processor and to a system memory associated therewith. The system memory contains context information with respect to a plurality of transport service instances used to send and receive the data packets over the network, each of the data packets belonging to a respective one of the service instances. Packet processing circuitry, coupled between the network interface and the host interface, processes the data packets using the context information of the respective service instances. A cache memory associated with the packet processing circuitry is coupled to load from the system memory and store the context information of the respective transport service instances for the data packets being processed by the packet processing circuitry.
