  Abstract

Large-scale AI and datacenter workloads require storage systems that offer both high performance and scalability. To meet this demand, networked block storage access technologies have evolved, with iSCSI, NVMe-over-TCP, and NVMe-over-RDMA as key protocols. This paper examines the performance and characteristics of these three protocols, focusing on performance bottlenecks and CPU overhead in real server-based storage environments. We also review recent research trends and discuss software optimizations, hardware offload techniques, and server architecture challenges related to NUMA, PCIe, and the adoption of DPUs. Using experimental data and recent studies, we compare the performance and resource consumption of NVMe/TCP and NVMe/RDMA, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages in relation to iSCSI. This study, along with the latest developments, offers valuable insights for protocol selection and architectural strategies for next-generation storage systems.
