I always found this protocol fascinating due to its apparent simplicity. As a first-year student, I was fiddling with configuring the kernel, and found the ATA-over-Ethernet driver and immediately thought I'd understood it: just throw the ATA commands in an Ethernet frame. After college, I started working at Oracle who partnered with high-end storage vendors for their projects. I was amazed and figured it would be so much cheaper to use Linux :)
