[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE:draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-boot-01.txtI thought that the following paragraph in draft-01 allowed servername to be represented in both IPv4 and IPv6 formats. The "servername" is the name of iSCSI server and contains either a valid domain name, a literal IPv4 address, or a bracketed literal IPv6 address. If the servername field contains a literal IPv4 address, the IPv4 address is in standard dotted decimal notation. If the servername field contains an IPv6 address, the address is represented in bracketed literal IPv6 address format. The main iSCSI standard defines targetname, we will adhere to whatever is accepted there. -Prasenjit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All, The field consists of an UTF-8[20] string and has the following composition: <servername> ":" <port> ":" <LUN> ":" <targetname> Would it be possible to adopt language explaining that servername and targetname could be dotted decimal expansions of the IP address in place of the name. DNS code for a bootstrap adds complexity. It would make it easier if perhaps some symbols could be used to indicate such an expansion has been made such as .IP6.INT or .IP4.INT suffix where the bytes are in reverse order with no embedded spaces.
