Abstract

This document describes a transport protocol for Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) that works on top of TCP.The iSCSI protocol aims to be fully compliant with the standardized SCSI architecture model.SCSI is a popular family of protocols that enable systems to communicate with I/O devices, especially storage devices.SCSI protocols are request/response application protocols with a common standardized architecture model and basic command set, as well as standardized command sets for different device classes (disks, tapes, media-changers etc.).As system interconnects move from the classical bus structure to a network structure, SCSI has to be mapped to network transport protocols.IP networks now meet the performance requirements of fast system interconnects and as such are good candidates to "carry" SCSI.
