Abstract
Proposed is a storage system and data processing method capable of effectively preventing the transfer delay or loss of important data or data which should be processed in real time. The priorities respectively set to each packet transmitted from the host system are detected, each packet is processed, and these processing results are packetized into a packet having the same priority as the priorities set to the packets, and this is transmitted to the host system. As a result, since the processing results of a packet having a high priority from the host system can be transmitted to the host system with the same priority, the transfer delay or loss of important data or data which should be processed in real time can be prevented effectively.
Claims16
A storage system for packetizing and transmitting/receiving information with a host system, comprising:
- a first processing unit for detecting the priorities respectively set to each packet to be transmitted from said host system;
- a second processing unit for processing each of said packets;
- and
- a communication unit for packetizing the processing results of each of said packets into a packet having the same priority as said priorities set to said packets, and transmitting this to said host system.
A data processing method in a storage system for packetizing and transmitting/receiving information with a host system, comprising:
- a first step for detecting the priorities respectively set to each packet to be transmitted from said host system;
- a second step for processing each of said packets;
- and
- a third step for packetizing the processing results of each of said packets into a packet having the same priority as said priorities set to said packet, and transmitting this to said host system.
