Does open-iscsi support I/OAT now? If so, from which version?
No. It uses some network API that is not converted to support I/OAT. The
intel guys have sent patches to add it, but they were a little behind
upstream so their patches would break. I think they are working

loaded if the system BIOS enables I/O AT (requires chipset support).
Once you have done that the network has a performance boost and you can
do all you want from normal
