This seminar provides a comprehensive summary of the current development of iSCSI (SCSI protocol over TCP/IP). This exposes the student to the maze of information available and puts it all together, from making connections to how commands work. All the pieces of an iSCSI system are clearly summarized including what it takes to integrate iSCSI components into a working system. In class exercises help reinforce system concepts. We also look at the trend of the current iSCSI documents and examine iSCSI analyzer captures from some of the current products available.
