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