Routing a data packet includes receiving at a switch a data packet from a storage client. The data packet is associated with a destination identifier identifying a virtual target, where the virtual target is accessible by the storage client. A storage resource identifier corresponding to the destination identifier is determined according to a forwarding table at the switch. The data packet is routed according to the storage resource identifier.
