[openib-general] iSER details

2005-10-24 Thread Mohit Katiyar, Noida








Hi,

Can anyone tell me where can I find the specifications of
iSER protocol on Infiniband. I could not find any document which provides specification
specially according to Infiniband, all the doc were on iWarp. If anyone can
guide me in this



Thanks in advance

Mohit

There are 2 relevant I-Ds:

iSCSI Extensions for RDMA Specification
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ips-iser-05.txt

and

Generalization of iSER for InfiniBand and other Network Protocols
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hufferd-iser-ib-01.txt

At the last IETF IPS WG meeting in Paris, the sense of the meeting was:

Sense of room: Want to proceed towards applying these changes
(after careful review and WG rough consensus) to the approved
iSER draft so that there is one draft that is broadly applicable
rather than the current iSER draft plus a draft that modifies
that draft to broaden it.

so these changes for IB will be folded into an upcoming version of the
iSER I-D.

As Hal indicate the iSER-05 IETF draft already incorporates InfiniBand,
and already passed last call status.
There aren't many differenced between IB and iWarp, IBTA is also working
on the IP address mapping over InfiniBand that will be leveraged by
iSER/IB and NFS/RDMA, and few other clarifications/issues.

Note one key difference in the IETF draft is that IB negotiate the Login
over the RC connection, where in iWarp its over a TCP connection (and
than transition to RDMA RC).

Some more detailed material can be found on
http://www.haifa.il.ibm.com/satran/ips/iSER-in-an-IB-network-V9.pdf
It's a little old but many sections are still relevant
