Internet Small Computer System Interface Extensions for the Remote Direct Memory Access Specification
RFC 7145, “Internet Small Computer System Interface Extensions for the Remote Direct Memory Access Specification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2014 by M. Ko, A. Nezhinsky. It obsoletes RFC 5046. 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. 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.
This document obsoletes RFC 5046.
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.
