Re: which kind of driver to design for AoE protocol?

This depends, assuming you are planning to use the standard network stack,
you probably will need a virtual storport driver similar to iSCSI. The
problem here is this is brand new stuff that Microsoft is betaing for some
platforms, so there is little data available. Take a look at the
presentations from WinHEC this year on storage and try contacting the
various email addresses.

This is going to be a big project and something that will be extremely hard
for a newbie to do.

Hello all,

I've been asked to look at designing a Windows driver for the AoE (ATA
over
Ethernet) protocol (coraid.com). I've been an applications developer for
eight years now, but never done a driver before.

After reading the MS doc "Getting Started with the Windows Driver
Development Environment", the first and most obvious question is "which
kind
of driver should I build?"

Any and all advice will be appreciated!

Best,
EI
