The iSCSI HBA is its own system - that is the root of the problem.
Its another system so surely SNMP ;)
More seriously I do think iSCSI is actually a subtly special case of TOE.
Most TOE disintegrates under carefully chosen "malicious" workloads
because of the way it is optimised, and the lack of security integration
ranges can be very very dangeorus. A pure iSCSI connection is generally
private, single purpose and really is the classic application of "pigs fly
given enough thrust" - which is the only way to make the pig in question
(iSCSI) work properly.
