Abstract
A method and apparatus for enabling communication between iSCSI/SAS host devices and iSCSI/SAS target devices via an iSCSI/SAS router is disclosed. In one embodiment, an iSCSI/SAS router includes iSCSI interfaces, SAS interfaces, and a mapping and routing logic. The mapping and routing logic is coupled to the iSCSI interfaces and the SAS interfaces. The mapping and routing logic virtualizes one or more SAS host and target devices to communicate with discovered one or more iSCSI host and target devices. Further, the mapping and routing logic virtualizes the one or more iSCSI host and target devices to communicate with discovered one or more SAS host and target devices.
