Abstract
System and methods are provided for providing modular control of network data packet handling and configurations. In one aspect, a storage-to-network mapping data structure is provided that can translate network connection parameters into high level, searchable concepts. In turn, these searchable concepts can be used by one or more modular software-defined storage applications to provide rules for network traffic handling that can then be merged into a dataplane forwarding data structure for implementation by a dataplane forwarder.
