摘要：An intelligent router routes a user request to a storage server that is capable

of handling that request natively, without emulation. The request is routed automatically,without any instruction or interaction on the part of the user. The intelligent routerincludes a storage tank-like computing environment and a set of intelligent routers. Theset of intelligent routers appears as a single entity to users by presenting a singlenetwork IP address. When the intelligent router receives a request, it examines theprotocol type and routes the request to one of the appropriate storage tank clients. Theintelligent router does not change the contents of the request message, and thus thestorage tank system do not become aware of the existence of the intelligent router.Consequently, any return messages do not need to go through the intelligent router,unless desired.
