TCP does not work for swapping, unfortunately. And same problem
might be in dirty-page-writeout...

I don't know of any AoE users that read the lkml.  Except me, of
course.

> 2) Is anyone on the list using AOE in combination with md and/or LVM2?

Yes, most AoE users use md.  Many use LVM2, but a couple have had
trouble with striped volume groups.

> 3) Is anyone on the list using AOE on a 64 bit platform?

People are using AoE on 64 bit platforms and not reading the lkml.  :)

existing iSCSI over TCP ietf draft just does not fit into SCTP.

There was some activity on IPS recently:

http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ips/current/msg01279.html

it ends up with needs for new ietf draft which will describe iSCSI over
SCTP transport.

While I think AoE is "neat", IMO you really want to use something based 
on TCP, even on a LAN...

Your CPU usage w/ zerocopy offload could potentially be lowered w/ TCP, 
in addition to the built-in reliability.
