FCP does not meet this requirement.  If there are multiple commands in the
pipe, they are sent sequentially without waiting for the "status sequence"
of a previous command.  Therefore, the QUEUE-FULL status does not stop next
command from coming.  This problem is avoided by having the driver or the
microcode of the NIC card tracking the commands sent to a target.
