ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for transferring data across a network protocol bridge is disclosed. In one embodiment, a multi-processing engine configuration is used wherein processing engines are tasked with carrying out specific data transfer operations. In another embodiment, this multi-processing engine configuration is implemented in a protocol bridge in which data is being transferred between Fibre Channel and a network bus that is coupled to a host system. In one embodiment, the network bus is a PCI/PCI-X bus.
