My benchmarks for iSCSI vs NFS performance tests both saturate the links

Don't compare apples/oranges. iSCSI is a transport protocol and has
nothing todo with application layer stuff like NFS.

It was all bonnied ;) So I had a test with native iSCSI connectors (non-pv) and NFS (tap:aio). Clearly if both saturizes my links, and tap:aio takes more memory, iscsi is my winner.

(The main reason why I prefer layer 3, because I can use different subnets on the same target)
