Re: I remember...
FCoE was not really that great. From a protocol perspective, it had tons of overhead. Reliable Ethernet was absolutely shit because it depended on a slightly altered version of the incredibly broken 802.3 flow control protocol. Add to that that FCoE is still SCSI which actually needs reliable networking and it's a disaster compounded ontop of another disaster.
iSCSI was about 10,000 times better than FCoE since the overhead was roughly the same and it implements reliability at layer 4 which is highly tunable and not network hardware dependent. Add good old fashioned QoS on top and it's better.
Better yet, why not stop using broken ass block storage protocols altogether and support a real protocol like SMBv3 or NFS? They are actually far more intelligent for this purpose.
