ABSTRACT:
Method and system for processing storage and network packets is provided. The system includes a computing system executing a storage application for sending an input/output request for communicating with a storage device, the storage application transmits the I/O request to a storage driver that includes (a) an operating system interface to communicate with an operating system executed by the computing system and (b) a storage protocol interface that executes operations related to the storage protocol for processing the I/O request; wherein the storage driver sends the I/O request to a network driver that encapsulates the I/O request into a combined network and storage packet; and the encapsulated network and storage packet is transmitted via a network link using a network protocol.
