Abstract:
1. A network system for separating control path and data path comprising: a first node, communicatively linked to an interconnection fabric, for initiating an operation command; a second node, logically connected to the first node and communicatively linked to the interconnection fabric, for receiving the operation command and conducting a third-party remote direct memory access operation by generating a remote direct memory access request based on the operation command, and sending the remote direct memory access request; a third node, logically connected to the second node and communicatively linked to the interconnection fabric, for receiving the remote direct memory access request; a first communication path in the interconnection fabric for communicating the operation command between the first node and the second node; and a second communication path in the interconnection fabric for communicating the remote direct memory access request between the second node and third node; wherein the second node responds to the first node with a status report upon the completion of the third-party remote direct memory access operation.
