Message-Based SPDK Transport Utility (TED Report) [Slides]

The driving goal is to investigate the feasibility of a message-based data transport for SPDK. All of SPDK’s existing data transport protocols are “connection-based”, requiring a target to hold state for each connected client / initiator. At extreme scale, juggling these connections from a large number of initiators creates a performance bottleneck. Under a message-based paradigm, we can bypass this behavior, as all initiators share a global communication channel, held open for the entire run. In theory, this approach should minimize connection management overhead at extreme scale.
