+ <p>Building on the new in-kernel iSCSI initiator stack
+ released in &os; 10.0, and the recently added iSCSI offload
+ interface, Mellanox Technologies has begun developing iSCSI
+ extensions for RDMA (iSER) initiator support to enable efficient
+ data movement using the hardware offload capabilities of
+ Mellanox's 10, 40, 56, and 100 gigabit IB/Ethernet adapters.</p>
+
+ <p>Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) has been shown to
+ have a great value for storage applications. RDMA
+ infrastructure provides benefits such as zero-copy, CPU offload,
+ reliable transport, fabric consolidation and many more. The
+ iSER protocol eliminates some of the bottlenecks in the
+ traditional iSCSI/TCP stack, provides low latency and high
+ throughput, and is well suited for latency-aware workloads.</p>
+
+ <p>This work includes a new ICL module that implements the
+ iSER initiator. The iSCSI stack is slightly modified to support
+ some extra features such as asynchronous IO completions,
+ unmapped data buffers, and data-transfer offloads. The user will
+ be able to choose iSER as the iSCSI transport with iscsictl.</p>
+
+ <p> The project is in its initial implementation phase. The
+ code will be released under the BSD license and is expected to
+ be completed later this year. </p>
