Good point, the high-level functionality in iSER
is all done in Open-iSCSI and its userspace extensions
iSER just deals with the data transfer and is layered under Open-iSCSI
by the way can you point me to the iSCSI HBA that delivers better
performance, latency, and memory consumption
and what about the price of that HBA and the attached 10GbE switch
Is any of this really relevant? The focus here is open source and creating a RDMA infrastructure for ULP to use. The market will decide whether a given technology survives or not. It isn't up to the open source community. Please take personal opinions on whether a technology will succeed elsewhere.
