Abstract:
1. A method comprising: storing route information for a first connection between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in a storage of the first endpoint, the first and second endpoints of different protocols, the route information determined during a configuration process; establishing the first connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint based on the route information; dynamically determining a new path between the first endpoint and the second endpoint, dynamically transmitting a path update corresponding to the new path to the first endpoint and the second endpoint; updating the route information based on the path update in the first and second endpoints and continuing the first connection using the updated route information; and transmitting data through the first connection according to a simple load store (SLS) protocol in which a tunneled SLS packet is encapsulated in an Advanced Switching (AS) header, the tunneled SLS packet including a target aperture identifier and an offset, wherein the target aperture is associated with a direct memory access (DMA) window of the connection.
