Why NAS Might Overtake SAN Storage Nov 17, 2009
Some might say SAN is where the file system resides on the host and the communication using 10 GbE and TCP/IP does not make it a NAS connection ... As someone who was around working on early SAN hardware in the mid-1990s, it is exciting to see the changes in the market and the convergence to a single network for both storage (, FCoE, iSCSI and so on) and external communication (TCP/IP LAN and WAN).

Language lab Oct 31, 2009
Early Arpanet computers used the Network Control Protocol to talk to each other, but in 1983 this was replaced with the more powerful and flexible TCP/IP - the transmission control protocol and internet protocol. Today we are in the process of migrating our networks from IP version 4 to IP version 6, which allows for more devices to be connected to the network and is more secure and robust, but work continues to improve and refine all aspects of the network architecture.

Today, the data protocol is still SCSI to the controller, but the encapsulation could be with TCP/IP and Ethernet, InfiniBand or FCoE. Once the data gets to the controller, things today likely get changed. The latest RAID controllers and likely all future controllers for the foreseeable future will take the front-end SCSI protocol and low-level hardware interface and then use SAS protocol to the disk trays, and then depending on the disk type (SAS or SATA), use the appropriate command set for...

Tech.view: The internet at forty Sep 5, 2009
The result was a suite of internetworking protocols known as TCP/IP (after the first two protocols defined by the standard, Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol). So effective was the Kahn/Cerf approach that insiders used to joke that TCP/IP would even work over a pair of tin-cans connected by a piece of string ... The internet as it is now known was born when ARPANET was converted to TCP/IP in 1983. (The Economist)

FreeBSD to Upgrade Routing Architecture Aug 25, 2009
"A common parallel TCP/IP protocol stack design is to allow L2 and higher layer processing to run independently of each other, having each processor managing different protocols.

According to Li, contention locks consumed as much as 47 percent of a CPU's time with the legacy routing architecture, determined through a test with eight transmitting threads. (Datamation)
