[dm-devel] Block multipathing in an IP-SAN

I'm wondering about how block device multipathing works in conjunction with
the high availability
features of an IP-SAN.
Does the iSCSI initiator's session layer's retransmission capability and the
IP-takeover capability
of IP-SAN switches eliminate the need for block device multipathing in an
IP-SAN?
Does the iSCSI initiator present redundant paths to the SCSI mid-layer?
Do these answers differ with software verses hardware iSCSI initiators?
