[Acronym] for [ATA] over Ethernet
-Similar in concept and purpose to [iSCSI], ATAoE is designed to be a lower-cost, lower-impact technology. It reduces the complexity of iSCSI stacks by not needing the relative overhead of TCP/IP, however this comes at a price - your ATAoE network range is limited to the ethernet segment the ATAoE source
is on.

+Kernel implementations of the ATAoE initiator driver are in both the linux and freebsd kernels, and work is being done on a windows implementation. There is a software ATAoE target driver (kvblade) available from the aoetools page listed below.
