Abstract
A storage server in a storage area network (SAN) environment connecting host computers and storage devices. The storage server includes a plurality of storage processors and a switching circuit. Data is routed between the storage processors via the switching circuit according to routing tags. The routing tags are examined prior to completely receiving the data, allowing the data to be routed with minimal delay.
