This paper describes the architecture of a set of kernel components for developing and testing storage area network transport protocols under Linux as a general prototype for network transport protocol development.Abstract:
This paper describes the architecture of a set of kernel components for developing and testing storage area network transport protocols under Linux. This software is intended for several uses: as a general prototype for network transport protocol development; as a reference implementation of the iSCSI protocol currently under development for standardization by IETF; as a basis for conformance testing for iSCSI; and as a testbed for development of interoperability test suites for iSCSI.read more

Software-aided storage device emulation in a physical storage device
TL;DR: In this paper, a front end component receives network communications and extracts SCSI commands from the network communication, and an emulation software component establishes a file within the physical storage device in response to the configuration function call.

Performance evaluation of commodity iSCSI-based storage systems
TL;DR: The main goals in this work are to understand the behavior of the application server (iSCSI initiator), to evaluate the overhead introduced by iSCSI compared to systems with directly-attached storage, and to provide insight about how future storage systems may be improved.
