Re: iSCSI : Concerns regarding DataRN in READ Data PDU.

[Santosh Rao <santoshr@cup.hp.com>]

Julian,

My original request on this issue was suggesting 2 alternatives. If a WG
consensus cannot be achieved on eliminating the DataRN and all of its
complexity, I would like to re-iterate the alternative proposal that was
made, that initiators should be allowed to disable this 
feature during login negotiation. 

Regards,
Santosh
