ABSTRACT:
Embodiments are generally direct to a method and apparatus for generating a header in a communication network. In one embodiment, receiving at a node on a first communication link a protocol data unit (PDU), generating a header that is non-specific to a particular communication protocol associated with the PDU when received at the node, the header to facilitate encapsulation and transportation of the PDU through a second communication link to deliver the PDU to a memory-based service interface of another node on the second communication link.
