Abstract

See full text

A pass-through module in a blade chassis receives an incoming message that utilizes a transmission protocol from one of multiple transmission protocols. The pass-through module determines which of the multiple transmission protocols is used by the incoming message by: comparing a physical component of the transmission protocol used by the incoming message with known physical components of the multiple transmission protocols, and, if necessary, comparing a logical component of the transmission protocol used by the incoming message with known logical components of the multiple transmission protocols. The incoming message is then routed to an optimal blade that is specifically adapted to process messages that utilize the transmission protocol used by the incoming message.
