ABSTRACT:
A method for identifying and prioritizing iSCSI traffic in an IP network. At least one iSCSI-aware switch which receives information identifying an iSCSI session, e.g., its iSCSI target port or IP address, may multicast such identifying information to let a second iSCSI-aware switch in the IP network know the information about the iSCSI session. The second iSCSI-aware switch may update its memory, software and hardware, so as to track the iSCSI session when the iSCSI session passes through it and give it priority over other network traffic.
