Comparative Performance Evaluation of iSCSI Protocol over Metro, Local, and Wide Area Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We identify the tunable parameters of iSCSI and TCP that affect the performance characteristics for local, metropolitan, and wide area networks. Through measurements, we determine the effect of these parameters on the throughput. We conclude that with the appropriate tuning of those parameters, iSCSI and TCP protocols maintain a good level of throughput for all types of networks.

A Performance Analysis of the iSCSI Protocol
Fibre channel has long dominated the realm of storage area networks (SAN’s). However, with increased development and refining, iSCSI is fast becoming an equal contender, which is causing many companies to reconsider how future storage networks shall be implemented. In addition to reduced costs and a unified network infrastructure, iSCSI allows for the deployment of storage networks over a commo...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement of Expanded Integrated Local Area Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)
In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...
متن کاملSTICS: SCSI-to-IP cache for storage area networks
Data storage plays an essential role in today’s fast-growing data-intensive network services. New standards and products emerge very rapidly for networked data storage. Given the mature Internet infrastructure, the overwhelming preference among the IT community recently is using IP for storage networking because of economy and convenience. iSCSI is one of the most recent standards that allow ...
متن کاملIntroducing SCSI-to-IP Cache for Storage Area Networks
Data storage plays an essential role in today’s fastgrowing data-intensive network services. iSCSI is one of the most recent standards that allow SCSI protocols to be carried out over IP networks. However, the disparities between SCSI and IP prevent fast and efficient deployment of SAN (Storage Area Network) over IP. This paper introduces STICS (SCSI-To-IP Cache Storage), a novel storage archit...
متن کاملSAN and Data Transport Technology Evaluation at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Growing data stockpiles and storage consolidation continue to be the trend. So does the need to provide secure yet unconstrained, high bandwidth access to such repositories by geographically distributed users. Conventional data management approaches, both at the local and wide area level, are viewed as potentially inadequate to meet these challenges. This paper explores methods deploying a new ...
