Abstract
The SNIA dictionary defines Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) as a transport protocol that provides for the SCSI protocol to be carried over a TCP-based IP network, standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force and described in RFC 3720.
iSCSI is a block protocol for storage networking and runs the very common SCSI storage protocol across a network connection which is usually Ethernet.
