NAME
     iser - iSCSI Extensions for Remote DMA driver

DESCRIPTION
     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.


     Currently, InfiniBand RC is  the  supported  RCaP,  and  for
     discovery  IP over IB must be configured on both the initia-
     tor 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 connec-
     tions  to  iSER-enabled targets. Otherwise the connection is
     established using IP-based connectivity.
