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> + </body> + + <sponsor>Mellanox Technologies</sponsor> + </project> </report>
