Internet Small Computer System Interface Extensions for Remote Direct Memory Access
RFC 5046, “Internet Small Computer System Interface Extensions for Remote Direct Memory Access”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2007 by M. Ko, M. Chadalapaka, J. Hufferd, U. Elzur, H. Shah, P. Thaler. It has since been updated by RFC 7146. It has been obsoleted by RFC 7145 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Extensions for Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) provides the RDMA data transfer capability to iSCSI by layering iSCSI on top of an RDMA-Capable Protocol, such as the iWARP protocol suite. An RDMA-Capable Protocol provides RDMA Read and Write services, which enable data to be transferred directly into SCSI I/O Buffers without intermediate data copies. This document describes the extensions to the iSCSI protocol to support RDMA services as provided by an RDMA-Capable Protocol, such as the iWARP protocol suite. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
