Abstract
A file array communications transport system transports unique packets between a host computer and an adapter of a data processing platform in accordance with a file array protocol. The protocol is manifested as an exchange of these unique packets and the file array transport comprises an arrangement of logic circuits and data structures needed to exchange these packets over a tightly-coupled, low latency interface of a file array storage architecture.
