iSCSI is way, way too complicated.
I fully agree. From one side, all that complexity is unavoidable for
case of multiple connections per session, but for the regular case of
one connection per session it must be a lot simpler.
Actually, think about those multiple connections... we already had to
implement fast-failover (and load bal) SCSI multi-pathing at a higher
level. IMO that portion of the protocol is redundant: You need the
same capability elsewhere in the OS _anyway_, if you are to support
multi-pathing.
I'm thinking about MC/S as about a way to improve performance using
several physical links. There's no other way, except MC/S, to keep
commands processing order in that case. So, it's really valuable
property of iSCSI, although with a limited application.
