Claims16
A network comprising at least one host device having an interface card connected to a backplane of said host device,
- wherein said interface card comprises at least one cage for receiving a pluggable module which performs a protocol mapping between an application protocol and a transport protocol.
A pluggable module adapted to be plugged into at least one cage of an interface card wherein said pluggable module is configured to perform a protocol mapping between a transport protocol and an application protocol.
A method for transporting data between host devices of a network via at least one optical fibre,
- wherein a pluggable module attached to said optical fibre is connected to a corresponding cage of one of said host devices and performs an energy efficient protocol mapping between an application protocol and a transport protocol.
