Doug, just sort me out on this. Are you suggesting SCSI over (FCP-2 over 
(FC over (IP over FC))) to reach the storage devices? Incidentally, by 
"SCSI" I mean the SCSI command set. Or did I get the nesting parentheses wrong?

If I do misunderstand, would you please set me straight. I though iSCSI was 
focused on SCSI over (SAM-compliant transport over (IP over [insert your 
favorite medium here])). I count one less nesting level---which usually 
goes hand-in-hand with less encapsulation overhead.
