ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and program for processing a packet including an Input/Output (I/O) command. A first level protocol processes a first level packet including a frame and a first level error code, wherein the first level error code is used to perform link-to-link error checking. A second level packet embedded in the first level packet frame is processed, wherein the second level packet includes an I/O command and a second level error code, and wherein the error code is used to perform end-to-end error checking. A second level packet frame in the second level packet including the I/O command is processed, wherein the packet comprises only the first level packet and the second level packet. The I/O command using an I/O protocol is processed.
