A Caching Strategy to Improve iSCSI Performance
iSCSI is one of the most recent standards that allows SCSI protocols to be carried out over IP networks. However, to encapsulate SCSI protocol over IP requires significant amount of overhead traffic for SCSI commands transfers and handshaking over the Internet. In this paper, we propose a caching scheme, called iCache, to improve the iSCSI performance. iCache uses a log disk along with a piece of non-volatile RAM to cache the iSCSI traffic. Through efficient caching algorithm, iCache can significantly improve performance over current iSCSI systems. Numerical results using popular benchmark program and real world trace have shown dramatic performance gain.
