Is anyone working on ATA over Ethernet for OpenSolaris ?

The Wikipedia article ATA_over_Ethernet implies that some where someone is doing ATA over Ethernet work for Solaris.

I don't have a need for it I'm just curious.

The only one that I've ever seen is from a company called Coraid. <http://www.coraid.com/>

The Solaris driver (with source) is here <http://www.coraid.com/support/solaris/>. An overview of ATA over Ethernet is here <http://www.coraid.com/technology.html>.

I have never used Coraid, but the question is timely, as someone pointed out Coraid to me a few weeks ago.

As a security person one of the things that interests in comparing ATA over Ethernet with iSCSI is that with the later you get to use IPsec to provide transport layer security and that seems like a big plus to me.
