A system enables communication between a first network having a first network protocol and a second network having a second network protocol. At least one of the first and second networks is a storage area network. The system includes first and second data ports for receiving, from the first network, input data and state information respectively. A microsequencer is configured to translate the input data, which is expressed in the first network protocol, into corresponding data expressed in the second network protocol. This translation is performed in part on the basis of the state information.
