(snip) iSCSI is a complex protocol, and t needs a lot of help from the NIC to be competitive with other forms of SAN. that's why you see iSCSI cards from Adaptec and Intel. those cards look like regular SCSI hardware (i think the Adaptec cards might even use the same driver for SCSI and iSCSI)There are dissenting opinions on this. Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI : "In fact, in modern high-performance servers, a plain NIC with efficient network driver code can outperform a TOE card because fewer interrupts <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt> and DMA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_memory_access> memory transfers are required."
