Re: SCSI over IP (fwd)
Jon - Keep in mind that there is no standards track document - the document you have is merely a proposal by one set of parties. This effort is pre-WG (chairs, charters, and final approvals are not complete to my knowledge). There are a number of parties that would like to see a proposed standard in the shortest amount of time but it is a large area. Thus, it's too early to speculate on products (standards compatible products, at any rate) but I'd imagine that it'd be *at least* towards 1Q 2001before we get to proposed standard. Only one IP networking vendor (Cisco) that I'm aware of has made any public direction statements in this area, though there is certainly interest among others - more IP traffic is good for business, after all. Obviously, the storage networking industry is interested as well.

Now that I have the SCSI over IP RFC text, I am wondering how soon, if ever, we will likely see a standard and/or product based on the specification? To your knowledge, is SCSI over IP being pursued in earnest by IP networking equipment companies at present? JWT
