HyperSCSI
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, HyperSCSI is a network protocol for sending and receiving SCSI commands. HyperSCSI is unlike iSCSI in that it bypasses the IP suite and works directly over Ethernet. That way, it skips the segmentation, reassembly, and all the other problematics that the IP suite addresses. Compared to iSCSI, this gives a performance benefit at the cost of IP's flexibility.
