Question

My ethernet network doesn't work what do I do?

Answer

AoE does not rely on network layers above Ethernet, such as IP, UDP, TCP, etc. This means that AoE is not routable over LANs and is intended for SANs only. An alternative to iSCSI, the AoE specification is 8 pages compared with iSCSI's 257 pages.
