NAME

6       iser - iSCSI Extensions for Remote DMA driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  iSER  driver  accelerates  the  iSCSI protocol by mapping the data
10       transfer phases to Remote DMA (RDMA) operations. No iSER  configuration
11       is  required  for  its use, but an RDMA-capable protocol (RCaP) must be
12       configured and enabled on both target and initiator endpoints.
13
14
15       Currently, InfiniBand RC is the supported RCaP, and  for  discovery  IP
16       over IB must be configured on both the initiator and target. If Infini‐
17       band (IB) hardware is present and an Infiniband reliable-connected (RC)
18       connection  can be established then an iSER-enabled initiator uses iSER
19       connections to iSER-enabled targets. Otherwise the connection is estab‐
20       lished using IP-based connectivity.
