Re: New List: rdma@cisco.com: to discuss RDMA

Before going too far down this road, it is important to 
understand if there is support for using an RDMA mechanism
as a basis for iSCSI.  Will the next draft of the iSCSI
protocol actually be based on an RDMA mechanism that
would be defined?  The answers to these questions and
the specific pros and cons need to be the driving 
force behind the RDMA discussion.
