Hello:

I am a newcomer to iSCSI world and have a question:

Ques: What is most popular/stable iSCSI target protocol stack?

So far, I have found IET (freeware), intel-iscsi (freeware) and Chelsio

(not_free) etc.

If someone could please provide pointers to other stacks and maybe
share their experiences with different iSCSI implementations, I will
really appreciate that!

Thanks,
Vishal.
PS: If this is not the right forum to address this question, I
apologize! Please point me to the direct one.

Hello:

Happy New Year :)

Ques: What is most popular/stable iSCSI target protocol stack?

Most use iet ( Openfiler, etc). iet is stable and powerful. Many configuration options, high performance. However it needs a recent kernel ( 2.6.14 and up ).

So far, I have found IET (freeware), intel-iscsi (freeware) and Chelsio

(not_free) etc.

I don't know intel-iscsi. Any input on this one welcome too. However I'm very happy with iet by now.

small fix. u can back port to lower kernel version if you want. not
difficult.

intel-iscsi is a user space implementation, easier to install. good
performance.

I suppose it's not as fast as iet, is it?

i never do performance comparison between intel code and iet. some
people i know use intel iscsi code and they think the performance is ok.
