The IP Storage Working group is chartered with developing comprehensive technology to transport block storage data over IP protocols. This effort includes a protocol to transport the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) protocol over the Internet (iSCSI). The initial version of the iSCSI protocol will define a mapping of SCSI transport protocol over TCP/IP so that SCSI storage controllers (principally disk and tape arrays and libraries) can be attached to IP networks, notably Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) the iSCSI protocol is a mapping of SCSI to TCP, and constitutes a "SCSI transport".
