I'm seriously skeptical of this protocol performance. Ethernet and TCP/IP induce a pretty heavy overhead. This overhead is totally acceptable in LAN/WAN networks, but in case of storage network you want to keep latencies as low as possible.

It's not about performance, it's about getting into the intelligence game.
