scope:
The SCSI family of standards provides for many different transport protocols that define the rules for exchanging information between different SCSI devices. This standard defines the rules for exchanging information between SCSI devices using an RDMA communication service. Other SCSI transport protocol standards define the rules for exchanging information between SCSI devices using other interconnects.
The set of SCSI standards specifies the interfaces, functions and operations necessary to ensure interoperability between conforming SCSI implementations. This standard is a functional description. Conforming implementations may employ any design technique that does not violate interoperability.
Figure 1 shows the relationship of SCSI transport protocol standards, such as this one, to the other standards and related projects in the SCSI family of standards as of the publication of this standard.
Figure 1 is intended to show the general relationship of the documents to one another. Figure 1 is not intended to imply a relationship such as a hierarchy, protocol stack or system architecture. It indicates the applicability of a standard to the implementation of a given transport.
At the time this standard was generated, examples of the SCSI general structure included:
