These are all numbers for reading from the remote buffer cache, no actual disk reads were performed. The read tests have been performed with dd, both for a block size of 512 bytes and of 1 MB. The tests with small block size learn more about latency, while the tests with large block size learn more about the maximal possible throughput. ............................................................................................. . .

My conclusion from the above numbers: the performance difference between STGT and SCST is small for a Gigabit Ethernet network. The faster the network technology, the larger the difference between SCST and STGT.
