    Abstract: A server system comprising storage devices, processing devices and a storage fabric all operating according to a storage fabric protocol. The storage fabric comprises a plurality of individual switches having a modular design from which an overall switch is built, and the individual switches have individual respective configuration settings which determine which processing devices are allocated to use which of the storage devices. The system comprises an API enabling a software control function to configure the overall switch. The API is operable to receive from the control function an overall mapping of the storage devices to the processing devices instead of requiring the individual configuration settings of each of the individual switches to be specified by the control function, the API being configured to convert the overall mapping into the individual configuration settings of the individual switches to produce the overall mapping.

    Abstract: An application programming interface (API) supporting server and key based networking is described. In an embodiment, the API receives either a key or a server address from a service running on a server in a direct-connect topology and returns data which identifies suitable next hops for transmission of a packet of data which has a destination of the received server address or of a server address which is encoded within the received key. In another embodiment, the key also encodes information specifying alternative server addresses for use in the event that the original server is unreachable. This information may also be used to define servers for replication of the key. A further embodiment describes a method of queuing packets for transmission against multiple links, where the packet is transmitted on the first available link and at this time is removed from the queues for the other links.

    Abstract translation: 描述了支持服务器和基于密钥的联网的应用程序编程接口(API)。 在一个实施例中,API从直接连接拓扑中的服务器上运行的服务接收密钥或服务器地址,并返回标识合适的下一跳的数据,用于发送具有所接收服务器的目的地的数据分组 地址或在接收到的密钥内编码的服务器地址。 在另一个实施例中,密钥还对指定替代服务器地址的信息进行编码,以在原始服务器不可达的情况下使用。 此信息也可用于定义用于密钥复制的服务器。 另一实施例描述了一种排队分组以对多个链路进行传输的方法,其中分组在第一可用链路上传输,并且此时从其他链路的队列中移除。
