| Title of Invention | A METHOD TO EXTEND THE PHYSICAL REACH OF AN INFINIBAND NETWORK |
|---|---|
| Abstract | A system for an apparatus for extending the physical reach of an InfiniBand network. Methods and apparatus can connect an InfiniBand network to a long distance connection (e.g. WAN) while maintaining full 10Gbit InfiniBand speeds and retaining the semantics specified by the InfiniBand Architecture (IBTA). A system can include an InfiniBand interface, a management block, packet routing, encapsulation/de-encapsulation, bulk memory buffer, and WAN interface, logic and circuits. The invention is applicable to efficiently moving large amounts of data over large distances using a single transport stream. |
| Full Text | The present invention relates to an apparatus for extending the physical reach of an InfiniBand network beyond that currently possible within the InfiniBand Architecture and in particular allows InfiniBand packets to be carried over networks that are not themselves conformant to the InfiniBand Architecture. |
