Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Extensions for Remote
Direct Memory Access (RDMA) provides the RDMA data transfer capability
to iSCSI by layering iSCSI on top of an RDMA-Capable Protocol, such
as the iWARP protocol suite.  An RDMA-Capable Protocol provides RDMA
Read and Write services, which enable data to be transferred
directly into SCSI I/O Buffers without intermediate data copies.
This document describes the extensions to the iSCSI protocol to
support RDMA services as provided by an RDMA-Capable Protocol, such
as the iWARP protocol suite.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
