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