Storage Area Networking - Features of the iscsi protocol
Kalman Meth, Julian Satran · IEEE Communications Magazine · 2003
The iSCSI protocol specifies how to access SCSI storage devices over a TCP network. In this article we give a brief introduction to the iSCSI protocol and a brief comparison with alternative technologies. We then discuss the basic features of the iSCSI protocol: sessions, naming, discovery, security, data placement, and recovery.
