AoE Support
Project Description
AoE (ATA over Ethernet) is a network protocol that has been designed for high-performance access to PATA and SATA disks over an Ethernet network. This technology allows for storage area networks (SAN) to be built using standard, low-cost consumer technologies.
The goals of this project are to test the performance and reliability of AoE under heavy load for x86_64 based systems; if successful, it will be tested and implemented on ARM based systems.

Project Details
This project will involve testing if AoE for ARM is a viable solution compared the current NFS implementation of shared network storage. Performance and stability will be evaluated between two x86_64 based systems for initial testing; if successful, AoE testing and implementation will be ported to the ARM architecture for further analysis. The ARM port will consist of a server and client setup for testing AoE. The final stage will consist of a working AoE network storage solution that could possibly replace the current NFS storage used.

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
- 0.1 - Test AoE under heavy load between two x86_64 based systems
- 0.2 - Port AoE to ARM and test with an x86_64 server and client setup
- 0.3 - Build a working, tested solution for AoE on ARM; including an updated kernel, server, and client setup configuration.
