Also of interest, according to the following link http://gestaltit.com/featured/top/stephen/wirespeed-10-gb-iscsi/ is that I/Os are being multiplexed across multiple TCP connections using RFC-3720 defined Multiple Connection per Session (MC/S) logic between the MSFT Initiator Nehalem machine and Netapp Target array: "The configuration tested (on the initiator side) was an IBM x3550 with dual 2 GHz CPUs, 4 GB of RAM, and an Intel 82598 adapter. This is not a special server – in fact, it’s pretty low-end! The connection was tuned with RSS, NetDMA, LRO, LSO, and jumbo frames and maxed out over 4 MCS connections per second. I’m not sure what kind of access they were doing (I’ll ask Suzanne), but it’s pretty impressive that the NetApp Filer could push 1,174 megabytes per second!' It just goes to show that software iSCSI MC/S can really scale to some very impressive results with enough x86_64 horsepower behind it.. --nab > > -- Pasi > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
