Abstract

A host sends an I/O transaction. The I/O transaction relates to a read or write operation for a first datum. A first listening service which manages I/O transactions for a first set of addresses receives the I/O transaction. The first listening service forwards the I/O transaction to a second listening service. The second listening service manages I/O transactions for a second set of addresses. The second listening service executes the I/O transaction at a selected address of the second set of addresses. The second listening service creates a data packet to respond to the I/O transaction. The header of the data packet includes the selected address. The second listening service transmits the data packet to the host. The host uses the selected address to update a database which includes addresses of data within.
