On The SAN Front, But Mostly OT... Genroco Delivers World's First Gigibit Ethernet SAN Message 13224992 Genroco is also working on ANSI-standard "Schedule Transfer". From Genroco's Web site: ST is a new ANSI standard network protocol designed by the T11.1 Task Group to allow many times higher bandwidth with much lower host platform overhead than TCP/IP or any other current industry convention. GENROCO was joined by IBM, Compaq, SGI, ODS Networks, Power Micro Research, Los Alamos National Laboratories, CERN, and other organizations in developing the ST specification which allows for transparent memory-to-memory transfers. An ST data movement over any type of network commences, or is "scheduled", only when a ready transmit buffer is matched by an equal sized, ready receive buffer at the destination. This allows the sending and receiving engines at endpoints of a network to operate at the highest possible speed and efficiency by eliminating buffer overruns and underruns without operating system intervention or overhead. Other protocols, such as SCSI, IP, and VIA, can be encapsulated within ST. I'm no expert, but this sure looks like technology to keep an eye on. I've not been able to find out very much about ST. Has anyone else heard of it? Regards to all, Steve
