Re: Data in SCSI Response or SCSI Data

[csapuntz@cisco.com]

If I remember the discussion correctly, I remember some folks who
were implementing hardware did not like having 3 different
mechanisms for doing the same thing, as this required more logic
and verification. 

From a network performance standpoint, there is minimal difference
between sending two iSCSI messages back-to-back and one larger
iSCSI message.

In fact, both iSCSI messages might even share the same packet.
