    The simplest approach and the most expeditious error recovery is to
    allow the target to originate a Logout. To send an AEN and then wait for
    the initiator to log out is opening up the target to dependencies on the
    initiator honoring and acting on that AEN, which is un-necessary.
    
    This should not be a violation of SAM since SAM does not restrict
    unsolicited traffic for the interconnect specific commands. (Fibre
    Chanel does this.)
    
    Thanks,
