Evaluating the Impact of RDMA on Storage I/O Over InfiniBand
Overview Recently, several protocols such as iSER (iSCSI Extension for RDMA) and SCSI RDMA Protocol (SRP) have been proposed to improve the performance of storage I/O. These protocols promise a better performance by taking advantage of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) operations. The need for design and development of new hardware and management infrastructure has made it difficult to evaluate these protocols and the impact of RDMA on storage I/O. On the other hand, recently InfiniBand solutions with RDMA capability have become available. Even though InfiniBand has been designed to be a unified interconnection network for both inter-processor and storage communication, its use has been mostly limited to inter-processor communication and not storage I/O.
