 From a practical perspective, there are very few iSCSI targets shipping 
today.  Most people had envisioned iSER over IB to a gateway Ethernet 
device since native IB storage is also quite rare in terms of real 
product.  For many of us, our push for iSER over IB was to replace SRP 
which has a deficient ecosystem thus not really used beyond some basic 
Fibre Channel gateway cards.
