A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Storage Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: iSCSI Requirements and Design Considerations
	Author(s)	: M. Krueger et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-reqmts-05.txt
	Pages		: 24
	Date		: 05-Jul-01
	
The IP Storage Working group is chartered with developing 
comprehensive technology to transport block storage data over IP 
protocols.  This effort includes a protocol to transport the Small 
Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) protocol over the Internet 
(iSCSI).  The initial version of the iSCSI protocol will define a 
mapping of SCSI transport protocol over TCP/IP so that SCSI storage 
controllers (principally disk and tape arrays and libraries) can be 
attached to IP networks, notably Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10 
Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE).

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
