NVMe-oF is a transport protocol between an initiator (e.g. Linux nvmf module) and a target (e.g. spdk, Linux nvmf module, etc.) much as iSCSI is a transport protocol. The storage behind the target does not need to be NVMe for NVMe-oF nor does it need to be SCSI for iSCSI.
- hardwaresofton 6y agoTIL -- I had no idea NVMe-oF was a transport protocol just like iSCSI was, so rather I should characterize it as NVMe-oF/iSCSI transport protocols. Thanks for the clarification
