Modules and methods that provide virtual device communication via information packets addressed to the virtual devices. Virtual devices aggregate capabilities of target devices and represent the aggregate as an operational device to remote systems. Physical device elements and virtual devices contained within modules are able to communicate and cooperate over extended distances in a peer-to-peer fashion via a virtual bus tunnel offering addressing and data transport functionality. Such modules and methods can be combined with disk drives to form RAID-like storage structures.

Information packet communication with virtual objects

Stateless storage accelerator modules comprise network interfaces and filter functions that enable the accelerated processing of stateless protocols associated with network storage. Filter functions examine packets received over the network interface according to contexts associated with the destination of the packets. Contexts are found quickly through a fast look-up to ensure high performance of the over all system. The contexts comprise information associated with storage areas including addresses associated with the storage areas.
