Abstract
Example implementations relate to storage networks. In some examples, a controller receives a packet sent from a source device to a destination device. The controller reads a local identifier of the source device at a first offset in the packet, where a global identifier of the source device is located at a second offset that is larger than the first offset. The controller also reads a local identifier of the destination device at a third offset in the packet, where a global identifier of the destination device is located at a fourth offset that is larger than the third offset. In response to a determination that the combination of the local identifiers of the source and destination devices matches a predefined zone rule, the controller causes a delivery of the packet to the destination device.
