1. A method for handling data in a communication network, the method comprising:
- processing at least one of;
input/output (I/O) requests and network packets in a converged network interface card (CNIC) based on a class associated with said at least one of;
said I/O requests and said network packets by storing on said CNIC, information that identifies said at least one of;
said I/O requests and said network packets, without storing on said CNIC said at least one of;
said I/O requests and said network packets.

Abstract
Certain aspects of a method and system for quality of service and congestion management for converged network interface devices are disclosed. Aspects of a method may include processing at least one of: input/output (I/O) requests and network packets in a converged network interface card (CNIC) based on a class associated with each of the I/O requests and network packets by storing on the CNIC, information that identifies the I/O requests and network packets, without storing on the I/O requests and network packets on the CNIC
