    Abstract: A data replication system has a chassis including a plurality of eSSDs, a fabrics switch, and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC configures one of the plurality of eSSDs as an active eSSD and one or more of the plurality of eSSDs as one or more passive eSSDs. The fabrics switch of the chassis is programmed to forward packets destined for the active eSSD to both the active eSSD and the one or more passive eSSDs. In response to a host data write command received from the host, the active eSSD stores the host data and sends an address and an instruction corresponding to the host data to the one or more passive eSSDs. Each of the one or more passive eSSDs stores a copy of the host data using the address and the instruction received from the active eSSD and the host data received in the packets forwarded by the fabrics switch.

    Abstract: A method includes: receiving a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP) packet from an initiator, wherein the TCP/IP packet includes an IP address of a switch and a port number; looking up an address translation table based on the IP address of the switch and the port number; translating the IP address of the switch to a private IP address based on the port number according to address mapping information stored in the address translation table; and routing the TCP/IP packet to a non-volatile memory express over fabrics (NVMeoF) device having the private IP address. A network address translation (NAT) router implemented in the switch is configured to perform the address translation from the IP address of the switch to the private IP address of the NVMeoF device.
