I really don't know anything about the offload solutions. It seems to me that if DCB, FCoE and iSCSI are all off-loaded, then it is all a matter of how that particular product is configured. Perhaps a more interesting case would be a product that offloads DCB and FCoE, but not iSCSI. Then iSCSI would have to get information out of the offloaded DCB solution. Hmmm. Could lldpad become a client of such a solution to provide the same information to other applications? That seems to me like the best place to deal with it if that is possible. -- Mark Rustad, mark.d.rus...@intel.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
