Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for data communication between nodes and storage devices via a networking device of a network, wherein data access to a storage device of the network by a node is performed in accordance with a data access mode being a normal data access mode. The networking device is configured to share available resources of the networking device between the data links. The method comprises: determining that a network congestion may occur in the network. At least one data link defined by a node and a storage device may be identified. The data access mode may be switched for the identified data link from the normal data access mode to a compressed data access mode. The compressed data access mode enables exchange of compressed data via the identified data link, thereby increasing available resources of the networking device.
