The above confirms basically my understanding apart from one "minor" 
confusion - I thought, that parallel to hardware solutions pure software 
implementations were possible / being developed, like a driver, that 
implements a SCSI LDD API on one side, and forwards packets to an IP 
stack, say, over an ethernet card - on the initiator side. And a counter 
part on the target side. Similarly to the USB mass-storage and storage 
gadget drivers?
