> model for iSCSI so that new "Datamover protocols" - such as iSER,
> see the separate announcement forwarded to the list by Mike Ko -

> iSCSI is a SCSI transport protocol that maps the SCSI family of 
> application protocols onto TCP/IP.  The Datamover Architecture for 
> iSCSI (DA) defines an abstract model in which the movement of data 
> between iSCSI end nodes is logically separated from the rest of the 
> iSCSI protocol in order to allow iSCSI to adapt to innovations 
> available in new IP transports.  The new Datamover protocol provides 
> a reliable transport for all iSCSI PDUs, but actually moves 
> the data required for certain iSCSI PDUs without involving the 
> remote iSCSI layer itself.  This document begins with an 
> introduction of a few new abstractions, defines a layered 
> architecture for iSCSI and Datamover protocols, and then models the 
> interactions within an iSCSI end node between the iSCSI layer and 
> the Datamover layer that happen in order to transparently perform 
> remote data movement within an IP fabric.  It is intended that this 
> definition would help map iSCSI to generic RDMA-capable IP fabrics 
> in the future comprising TCP, SCTP, and possibly other underlying 
> network transport layers.
