Inter-Fabric Routing
US Patent:
2011029, Dec 8, 2011
Filed:
Aug 5, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/204169
Inventors:
David Peterson - Princeton MN, US
Assignee:
BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/66
US Classification:
370355
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is shown for communicating Fibre Channel frames between distinct fabrics. A proxy zone is established in each fabric with a physically present local device and a remote fabric device. A router creates a proxy device in each fabric for every device not physically connected to the fabric. The proxy devices appear to be directly attached to the router. The router handles all address translations between proxy and physical addresses. When multiple routers are encountered, the ingress router does all address translation. No routing or encapsulation headers are used except when routing between two routers. The source ID and the originator exchange identifier are stored at the egress router for all link requests that require special handling. When replies pass through that router, the destination ID and originator exchange identifier are compared with the stored information. On a match, the reply is specially handled.
