摘要:
A new architecture for networked data storage is proposed for providing efficient information processing, and transportation. Data is processed, encrypted, error checked, redundantly encoded, and stored in fixed size blocks called quanta. Each quantum is processed by an Effective Cross Layer protocol that collapses the protocol stack for security, iWARP and iSCSI functions, transport control, and even RAID storage. This streamlining produces a highly efficient protocol with fewer memory copies and places most of the computational burden and security safeguard on the client, while the target stores quanta from many clients with minimal processing.
