FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: InfiniBand network is connected to a long distance connection (e.g. WAN) while maintaining full 10 Gbit InfiniBand speeds and retaining the semantics specified by the InfiniBand Architecture (IBTA). A system can include an InfiniBand interface, a management block, packet routing, encapsulation/de-encapsulation, bulk memory buffer, and WAN interface, logic and circuits.
EFFECT: controlling a large part of a network and efficiently moving large amounts of data over large distances using a single transport stream.
