Abstract
A method and system configured for detecting availability of destination port associated with a virtual connection between a client and server communicating using SCSI over a fiber channel network by a server fiber channel adapter, reading data from a head of a singly linked list of a data stream storing data to be forwarded by the virtual connection engine executing the virtual connection without a lock by a consumer process thread while a producer process thread has access to the linked list of the data stream, and forwarding the data read from the head of the linked list to the destination port.
