Yes, sorry, I should have written ‘NVMe over TCP/IP’.
‘What is needed on the Host side (hardware, firmware, software,
drivers, etc.) to support NVMe over TCP?
‘NVMe/TCP software does not require any special hardware/firmware to
operate, although different classes of CPU and network adapters can
benefit from better performance. NVMe/TCP host and NVM subsystem
software need to be installed in order to run NVMe/TCP. The
software is available with Linux Kernel (v5.0) and SPDK (v.19.01),
as well as commercial NVMe/TCP target devices.’
