[PATCH RFC 0/4] nvme-fabrics: TCP transport

I'd recommend that you join the fabrics 1.1 work that has started on
the NVMe TWG. I can't really provide feedback on an non-standardized
implementation, and we're obviously not going to accept it.

If you have any intentions for pursuing this, you should go through the
NVMe TWG.

Cheers,
Sagi.
