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?
