I have repeated some of these performance tests for iSCSI over IPoIB
(two DDR PCIe 1.0 ConnectX HCA's connected back to back). The results
for the buffered I/O test with a block size of 512K (initiator)
against a file of 1GB residing on a tmpfs filesystem on the target are
as follows:

write-test: iSCSI-SCST 243 MB/s; IET 192 MB/s.
read-test: iSCSI-SCST 291 MB/s; IET 223 MB/s.

And for a block size of 4 KB:

write-test: iSCSI-SCST 43 MB/s; IET 42 MB/s.
read-test: iSCSI-SCST 288 MB/s; IET 221 MB/s.

Or: depending on the test scenario, SCST transfers data between 2% and
30% faster via the iSCSI protocol over this network.

Something that is not relevant for this comparison, but interesting to
know: with the SRP implementation in SCST the maximal read throughput
is 1290 MB/s on the same setup.
