First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- examining a call and a file descriptor associated with the call in an application node of a system area network; and
if the call and the file descriptor are of a first type, translating the call to a protocol recognized by a second node in the system area network and communicating the translated call to the second node.

Abstract
Application node processors examine application calls and file descriptors associated with application calls in system area networks, determine how to process the application calls based on examining calls and file descriptors and either translate the application call to a lightweight protocol or process the call using the application node operating system.

16. An apparatus comprising:
-
a port for connecting the apparatus to a system area network; and
a processor configured for;
examining a call and a file descriptor associated with the call; and
if the call and the file descriptor are of a first type, translating the call to a protocol recognized by a system area network device and sending the translated call through the port addressed to the system area network device.
