Abstract
A dedicated network gateway device capable of bridging, switching or routing network traffic between a traditional network and a direct interconnect network is provided. The device may include a host interface card having a first port, second port, and one or more computation devices. The first port may be a direct interconnect port connected to a direct interconnect network. The second port may be a traditional network port connected to switches and devices in the traditional network. The computation devices may be internally connected to the first and second ports. The host interface card may be connected to a host device via a communication bus. The host interface card may be capable of switching network traffic between the traditional and direct interconnect networks without intervention by the host device.
