[iSCSI] is a [TCP/IP] [Protocol] for encapsulating [SCSI] commands. It is defined in RFC:3720. This allows making block devices available on the network, accessed as if they were mounted locally. It also means only one host can mount an [iSCSI] device at a time, unless the FileSystem is read-only. |

[iSCSI] has gained popularity over ~FibreChannel over [IP] (FCIP) because it can run over standard [Ethernet] (or any other) networks. |

[iSCSI] is generally implemented in a driver (the ''initiator'') that takes [SCSI] commands generated by the OperatingSystem, encapsulates and encrypts them, adds a packet header and trasmits them as [IP] packets. The [iSCSI] device receives the packets, decrypts and disassembles them, and separates the [SCSI] commands and request. The [SCSI] commands are sent through the [SCSI] controller to the [SCSI] device (the ''target''). |
