The current status is that ehtereal does not have any support for any of these protocols.

iSER and iWARP are new niche protocols. It is quite possible that none of the ethereal developers have access to any capture files
or documentation of these protocols.

A good start would be to create a WIKI page for these protocols with links to standards and also a bunch of big capture files to use as an example.



The standards for some of the protocols are very funny in that they make a big thing of pointing out how expensive
data-copies in a normal stack is   and from there go on to describe a mapping that is impossible to implement in a software stack
without doing a LOT of data copy.   :-)
I fear there is little hobbyist interest in a protocol specifically designed to be impossible to implement efficiantly in a normal stack.

Will Ethereal be supporting iSER/iWARP?
