Claim 19:
20. A system comprising:
a local means for processing local NVMe submissions to produce upstream packets that use a local transport protocol (LTP);
a means for associating a command identifier in a NVMe SQE with a request identifier in a LTP packet;
a means for using the request identifier to include the command identifier in an NVMe CQE that is responsive to the NVMe SQE; and
an intermediate means for interacting with a storage area network (SAN) via NVMe capsules that are produced from the upstream packets and for communicating SAN operation results to the local means,
wherein:
the LTP packet includes an NVMe opcode, an NSID indicating an NVMe namespace, a PCIe device identifier, and the request identifier; and
the intermediate means interacts with the SAN via a computer network.
