A system, medium and method for generating a server side transaction ID (XID′) is disclosed. A request is received from a client device to access a server. The request includes a source port, source IP address, protocol information and a client generated transaction ID (XID). An endian'ness of the client of determined and classified. A Client ID unique to the client request is then generated using the source port, source IP address, protocol information, and a Masked XID generated from the endian'ness determination and the XID. A server side transaction ID (XID′) is then synthesized by combining the Client ID and an XID halfword containing least significant bits (LSB) identified from the endian'ness determination. The XID′ is then transmitted to the file server, wherein the XID′ is associated with the XID for the corresponding client request.
