                 Title                           : iSCSI Extensions for 
RDMA Specification

iSCSI Extensions for RDMA provides the RDMA data transfer capability 
to iSCSI [iSCSI] by layering iSCSI on top of the Remote Direct 
Memory Access Protocol (RDMAP).  The iWARP protocol suite 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 defined by the iWARP protocol suite.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in

or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
                 mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
                 "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ko-iwarp-iser-00.txt".
 
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.
