Subject: Re: DCB support for iSCSI
Does you guys know what is up with iscsi offload? Have you guys talked
to them? For something like be2iscsi it seems like it would be done all
in hardware/firmware so like the emulex fcoe driver, lpfc, it would not
use lldpad. But maybe some of the iscsi offload cards that do a lot in
software and do more of direct data placement type of offload, how
would
that work?
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.
Ok agree. So not my problem :)
