Actually, this is property not of iSCSI target itself, but of any SCSI target.
So, we implemented it as part of our SCSI target mid-level (SCST,

automatically benefit from this feature. Unfortunately, currently available

works not too reliable and only with very specific initiators). The published

The above confirms basically my understanding apart from one "minor" confusion - I thought, that parallel to hardware solutions pure software implementations were possible / being developed, like a driver, that implements a SCSI LDD API on one side, and forwards packets to an IP stack, say, over an ethernet card - on the initiator side. And a counter part on the target side. Similarly to the USB mass-storage and storage gadget drivers?
