The IESG has received a request from the STORage Maintenance WG (storm) to consider the following document: - 'iSCSI Extensions for RDMA Specification' <draft-ietf-storm-iser-12.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-10-22. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract iSCSI Extensions for RDMA provides the RDMA data transfer capability to iSCSI by layering iSCSI on top of an RDMA-Capable Protocol. An RDMA-Capable Protocol 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 provided by an RDMA- Capable Protocol. This document obsoletes RFC 5046. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-storm-iser/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-storm-iser/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
