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 + <tt>iscsictl</tt>.</p> + + <p>The project is in its beta phase.
