so your 1gbit pipe ends up being, you know, .8gbit storage and .2gbit
protocol (I don't know what the exact numbers are)
    

more like .96gbit storage and .04gbit protocol.... or .993/.007 on jumbo frames

  

Are you using TCP and/or iSCSI offload in your NIC? Those seem like pretty good numbers.

This reminds me of a question that I was going to ask. I'm spec'ing up a Dell server and they have a "Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 Dual Port 1GbE NIC with TOE and iSCSI Offload". Does anyone have any idea on how to enable the iSCSI offload under Linux? Or does it "just work"?
Thanks
