+            Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED)
+              STGT/iSER target in OFED 1.4 Release Notes
+
+                          December 2008
+
+
+* Background
+
+       iSER allows iSCSI to be layered over RDMA transports (including InfiniBand
+       and iWARP (RNIC)). Linux target framework (tgt) aims to simplify various SCSI
+       target driver (iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, etc) creation and maintenance.
+
+       tgt supports the following target drivers (among othets)
+
+       - iSCSI software (tcp) target driver for Ethernet/IPoIB NICs
+       - iSER software target driver for Infiniband and RDMA NICs
+
+       For iSCSI and iSER tgt consists of user-space daemon, and user-space
+       tools. That is, no special kernel support is needed other than the
+       kernel (and user space) RDMA stacks.
+
+       The code is under the GNU General Public License version 2.
+
+       This package is based on a snapshot (clone) of the tgt git tree taken
+       on August 28th, 2008
+
+* Supported platforms
+
+       RHEL 5 and its updates
+       SLES 10 and its service-packs
+
+       The release has been tested against the Linux open iscsi initiator
