Claim 18:
19. A peripheral over fabric system, comprising:
a local interface configured to communicate with a local peripheral interconnect interface of a host device;
a remote interface configured to communicate with a network stack of a network interface of the host device;
an interworking unit configured to:
intercept first traffic for a peripheral device issued by an application through a device driver to the local peripheral interconnect interface of the host device;
translate the first traffic into translated first traffic comprising a network format suitable for the network interface of the host device, wherein the peripheral device is identified by a device-specific network port and address which is included in a header portion added into the translated first traffic; and
route the translated first traffic over a network stack of the host device to reach the peripheral device over the network interface instead of over the local peripheral interconnect interface.
