An authentication service to authenticate access requests over a Fiber Channel (FC) network is provided. An authentication request is generated by a client and is sent over the FC network to a server. The request can be a native FC message, such as a CT message. For example, authentication software can generate the native FC message. In another example, authentication software can send a UDP or TCP authentication request, and an application program interface (API) can translate the request into a native FC message, such as a CT message, and send the message over the FC network. In another example, the authentication request can be sent as an encapsulated IP over FC message. For example, an authentication client can communicate using UDP or TCP messages, and an HBA can encapsulate the messages as IP over FC and send the encapsulated messages over the FC network.

Client/server authentication over Fibre channel

Disclosed herein is a method for improving Input/Output (I/O) performance in a host system having multiple CPUs. Under this method, various interrupt affinity schemes are provided, which associate multiple processors, interrupts, and I/O channels for sending the interrupts, thereby allowing the interrupts to be almost evenly loaded among the multiple I/O channels and processors. Also, data locality ('warm cache') can be achieved through the interrupt affinity schemes that associate each interrupt to its source processor, namely, the processor originating the I/O request that results in the interrupt.

Disclosed herein is a composite pressure vessel with a liner having a polar boss and a blind boss a shell is formed around the liner via one or more filament wrappings continuously disposed around at least a substantial portion of the liner assembly combined the liner and filament wrapping have a support profile. To reduce susceptible to rupture a locally disposed filament fiber is added.
