RE: [Xen-users] disk backend performance
So: over a dedicated cable with jumbo frames it is actually smarter to use
ISCSI than AOE? Is that your conclusion?

If you implement iSCSI in software then the overhead could matter. If
it's implemented in hardware though (eg an iSCSI HBA) then the
processing overhead becomes negligible. With jumbo frames, the IP+TCP
header overhead (40 bytes) is also negligible.
