The quick answer here is none of SDP, iSER/SRP or uDAPL for different
reasons on each case
kDAPL is the kernel API that is designed to handle a kernel application
such as NFS, Lustre or the like. See:
http://www.datcollaborative.org/kdapl.html
There is are already implementations of NFS/RDMA available:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/nfs-rdma
This should give you some hints on how to a distrubuted file system
uses the kDAPL interface.

Subject: [openib-general] how to choose appropriate ULPs for application
Hello！
We plan to run lustre on InfiniBand. But now lustre does not support IB.
I know noting about the IB stack. So I think the IB Upper Layer Protocol(SDP,
DAP) could be used to transport data for lustre.
But there are too many ULPs over IB. I know little about them. As far
as I konw, iSER/SRP is for SCSI command transportation. So, it seems both SDP
and uDAP are OK for my plan. I cant tell the difference between them. Which one
is better, SDP or DAP? I don't konw how to choose?
Any suggestion is appreciated!
致
礼！
Sincerely yours
