Embodiment Construction
[0034] Turning now FIG. 1, a block diagram of a cluster configuration according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown. Cluster 100 includes a data communication link 102, three nodes 104A-104C, and three storage devices 108, 110 and 112. Data communication link 102 provides a data communication path for transferring data between the nodes. Data communication link 102 contemplates a multi-drop link or point-to-point links. For example, data communication link 102 may include three point-to-point links. A first link may provide a communication path between nodes 104A and 104B, a second link may provide a communication path between nodes 104A and 104C, and a third link may provide a communication path between nodes 104B and 104C. In one embodiment, data communication link 102 implements a scalable coherent interface (SCI). In one particular embodiment, the cluster implements a TCP / IP protocol for transferring data over the SCI. It is noted that three nodes are shown for i...
