would like to clarify the comment on SRP. There are companies presently
shipping and demonstrating SRP native IB storage. For

was designed for highly optimized storage access across an RDMA capable
transport, and hence is capable of very high performance.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

term the storage vendors anticipate that iSCSI will be the focus for long haul

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. <BR><BR>Mike<BR><BR>
