AoE Protocol |
• CORAID EtherDrive products use the AoE protocol to connect disks to servers using Ethernet. • ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE) is a thin protocol layer directly on top of Ethernet. • ATA disk commands (ie. read disk sector x, write disk sector y) are put directly into standard Ethernet frames using the AoE protocol. AoE is a block storage protocol. • AoE is a non-routed protocol, therefore does not require IP or TCP protocol layers. This eliminates unnecessary processing and makes network connection to disks simple. |
