[openib-general] FW: [Ips] iSER over IB - Consensus call

[Yaron Haviv]

FYI, For the ones that don't track the IETF iSCSI WG

In the last IETF meeting in Paris iSER (iSCSI RDMA) over InfiniBand was
discussed again, and as you can see below IETF gave its green light to
do the few semantic changes in the iSER RFC and generalize it to IB
Can also note that iSER over IB/iWarp RFC is in the Last Call status 

It is interesting to see the convergence with OpenIB adding iWarp
drivers, and IETF adding IB to the iSER RFC, resulting in a common set
of Drivers, ULPs, and remote boot support.

Subject: [Ips] iSER over IB - Consensus call

The IPS WG Paris meeting discussed:

iSER over InfiniBand (draft-hufferd-iser-ib-00.txt)

	Proposal for text edits to iSER to permit use on other
transports,
	including InfiniBand.  Also will help enable iSER to be defined
over
	SCTP.

This draft is (or at least is intended to be) entirely editorial -
it does not (or at least is not intended to) make any technical
changes to the iSER draft that has passed WG Last Call.

The draft Paris minutes record the following:

	Sense of room: Want to proceed towards applying these changes
	(after careful review and WG rough consensus) to the approved
	iSER draft so that there is one draft that is broadly applicable
	rather than the current iSER draft plus a draft that modifies
	that draft to broaden it.

Anyone who objects to this sense of the room in Paris should post
to the list with reasons for the objection, otherwise the sense of
the room to proceed in this direction will become the rough consensus
of the IPS WG.

If the WG does proceed in this direction, the next step will be a WG
Last Call on draft-hufferd-iser-ib-00.txt, with all
changes/comments/etc.
to be posted to the list, even editorial ones.  After conclusion of
that WG Last Call, the resulting edits can be applied to produce a new
version of the iSER draft.  We'll try to get this done by the end
of August, but it may take a bit longer.

Thanks,
--David
