Ich think, porting AoE to LIO-Layer is a great idea! The abstracting layer of LIO allows to separate the disk-layer from the transport protocol, so thisis imho the ideal place for an AoE port. The counter-argument is the missing standardisation (there is i.e. no rfc for this), but the inventor (coraid, became insolvent this year) published the definition of the protocol. Additionally there exist drivers for a lot of operating systems.
