The iSCSI protocol is the encapsulation of the SCSI protocol within TCPIP packets. By using TCPIP as the transport, the SCSI transactions gain the benefits of extended distance support, connectivity with potentially many more devices than SCSI or fiber channel can support, and a network infrastructure already installed and available. iSCSI transactions consist of an iSCSI initiator transmitting a request (i.e. read/write/etc) to an iSCSI target. This iSCSI target processes the request and responds with the appropriate information (data/ack/etc). iSCSI initiators are typically application servers or even end users while iSCSI targets are typically either SAN access points or actual storage controllers.
