Abstract
A peripheral device includes a host interface and processing circuitry. The host interface is configured to communicate with a host over a peripheral bus. The processing circuitry is configured to expose on the peripheral bus a peripheral-bus device that communicates with the host using a bus storage protocol, to receive, using the exposed peripheral-bus device, Input/Output (I/O) transactions that are issued by the host, and to complete the I/O transactions for the host in accordance with a network storage protocol, by running at least part of a host-side protocol stack of the network storage protocol.
