  • Publication number: 20210081352
    Abstract: Certain Embodiments described herein relate to configuring the network-storage stack of two devices (e.g., physical or virtual) communicating together (e.g., an initiator and a target, as defined below) with Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) extension for remote direct memory access (RDMA) iSER, which is a protocol designed to utilize RDMA to accelerate iSCSI data transfer. The iSER protocol is implemented as an iSER datamover layer that acts as an interface between an iSCSI layer and an RDMA layer of the network-storage stacks of the two devices. Using iSER in conjunction with RDMA allows for bypassing the existing traditional network protocol layers (e.g., TCP/IP protocol layers) of the devices and permits data to be transferred directly, between the two devices, using certain memory buffers, thereby avoiding memory copies taking place when the existing network protocol layers are used.
