Abstract
Certain embodiments of the invention may be found in a method and system for operating ports in port bypass controllers through LIPf7 origination detection and LIPf8 suppression, which may be utilized, for example, in storage systems. Aspects of the method may comprise receiving a data stream at a receive port Rx(n) of a port bypass controller, where n is an integer indexing a port in the port bypass controller. LIPf8 primitives in the received data stream may be suppressed at the receive port Rx(n) and LIPf7 primitives inserted in place of at least a portion of the suppressed LIPf8 primitives.
