"Intel has officially introduced its Open FCoE software stack, based
on the native OS Fibre Channel Over Ethernet project it first open
sourced in 2007."

"Citing Microsoft Exchange and MySQL benchmarks from an independent
test house, Swinford said that the setup would not put an undo
burden on the CPU. The tests, he said, never showed more than 5 per
cent CPU utilization. And he boasted that the settup is designed to
improve as servers improve. "As we continue to make stronger, more
powerful processors, our performance will continue to get better,"
he said."

"At the core of the Open FCoE effort is the Data Center Bridging (DCB)
specification. Swinford noted that DCB is part of the Linux 2.6.29
kernel and subsequent Linux kernels. According to Intel, there are
no special hooks in the kernel for Open FCoE to work with Intel X520
adapters, but Intel adapters are the first ones qualified by EMC and
NetApp with the Open FCoE solution."

先日リリースされた Intel software FCoE stackに関して、QLogic European
Marketing Directorへの The Registerのインタビューです：
"QLogic: Software FCoE can't cut it"
24th February 2011
Interview
"What does a HW Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) vendor think of
Intel's software FCoE stack? We asked QLogic's Host Solutions Group
through Henrik Hansen, its European marketing director."
.....
"The CNA supplier thinking is, generally, that servers should run
applications and offload storage I/O processing to peripheral cards.
So El Reg asked Hansen about QLogic's position on Intel's SW FCoE.
We've edited the replies to bring out what we think are the
essential points. The resulting Q&A session has some QLogic
marketing puffery in it but the general message is clear enough:
software FCoE can't cut it in the data centre."
