+ <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 developed 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 Infiniband (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 the process of being merged to &os;
+ 11-CURRENT and is expected to ship with &os; 11.0.</p>
