"The decision to use simple Ethernet frames requires some explanation. We view the use of storage blades as local storage, not Internet storage. As a result we use the simple data link services of a local area network to transport the messages. We are not trying to make storage available directly across an internetwork as there are already solutions for that problem. For internetwork storage the use of iSCSI or NFS would be more appropriate."
