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.

I think the idea of AoE is that you don't have IP, you're not routable,
and you're necessarily on a dedicated network. Frankly, I don't see the
utility over iSCSI.

Ah the fallacy of the local LAN being secure ;-)

Personally no I don't see the value of AoE over iSCSI but some people do an it is interesting that they believe there is value for Solaris.
