Re: Connection Consensus Progress

[David Robinson <David.Robinson@EBay.Sun.COM>]

Just for the record, I will restate that I prefer to have a single
TCP connection per initiator/target session. The complexity of error
handling greatly outweighs the perceived performance implications.
Also any performance problems are not fundemental limitations of TCP
but issues in existing implementations, complicating a protocol to
cover bad/lazy implementations is a bad idea.

iSCSI should not try to end-run congestion control, creating and managing
multiple connections may cause unexpected interactions with congestion
control algorithms and other QOS mechanisms.  I don't know this to
be true but we must be certain we are not causing problems before
we go down this path.
