  text: The Internet-SCSI protocol [iSCSI] allows a client to interact with a remote
    SCSI-capable target by means of block-oriented commands encapsulated within TCP/IP
    packets. Thereby, iSCSI greatly simplifies storage virtualization, since clients
    can access storage in a unified manner, no matter whether the I/O-path is short
    or long distance. Intermediate devices located on the path between a client and
    a target can easily intercept iSCSI sessions and rewrite packets for the sake
    of load balancing, prefetching, or redundancy, to mention just a few beneficial
    applications. Within this paper we describe the design and implementation of such
    an iSCSI capable intermediate device that deploys prefetching strategies in combination
    with redundant disks to reduce average I/O-latency. Depending on its location
    within the network, this virtualization and prefetching device can hide wide area
    access latency and reduce network contention targeting remote SCSI-devices to
    a large extent.
