I think security and QoS are secondary issues for moving block data on a SAN. The primary issue is reliability. TCP is inherently less reliable, remember internet was designed for "best effort" delivery. Imagine having a few frames of your video dropped for VOD type application? I don't want to throw another protocol into this, but I honestly believe iSCSI is not the best protocol for reliable transfer it may be good for SAN over MAN type situations. However, for within a SAN, FC and later infiniband is the best solution. My $0.02 worth. Vikas
