Summary:Provided are a computer program product, system, and method to allow a host and a storage device to communicate using different fabric, transport, and direct memory access protocols. An origination package is received from an originating node at a first physical interface over a first network to a destination node having a storage device including a first fabric layer encoded according to a first fabric protocol, a first transport layer encoded according to a first transport protocol including a storage Input/Output (I/O) request directed to the storage device at the destination node. At least one destination packet is encoded with a second fabric layer and a second protocol layer according to the first fabric protocol or a second fabric protocol and according to the first transport protocol or a second transport protocol depending on what the destination node uses.
