It is in the NW now. Follow the new format (it was discussed on this list a
while ago).

Subject:  What happened to the Length field?




In the latest version of the iSCSI spec, the total PDU length field has
been
dropped
from the PDU header. This field significantly helps the parsing of the
incoming
iSCSI PDU stream without having to parse through several levels of headers
to
get to the  next PDU. This is especially useful in cases where out of order
data
placement is being done.
