.SH NAME
iser \- iSCSI Extensions for Remote DMA driver
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The iSER driver accelerates the iSCSI protocol by mapping the data transfer
phases to Remote DMA (RDMA) operations. No iSER configuration is required for
its use, but an RDMA-capable protocol (RCaP) must be configured and enabled on
both target and initiator endpoints.
.sp
.LP
Currently, InfiniBand RC is the supported RCaP, and for discovery IP over IB
must be configured on both the initiator and target. If Infiniband (IB)
hardware is present and an Infiniband reliable-connected (RC) connection can be
established then an iSER-enabled initiator uses iSER connections to
iSER-enabled targets. Otherwise the connection is established using IP-based
connectivity.
