RE: iSCSI: Naming and Discovery Draft

["Renato E. Maranon" <rmaranon@marantinetworks.com>]

Some minor feedback.

Appendix A is preceded by the text "8. ".  "8. " Should be removed?

Second.
In Appendix B, B.4.5 Login fail, the description for the sample login for
target removed (exception "Target removed 44") is split by the "Target
Conflict 45" sample.  Should probably be combined.

Original text:
   I->Login Request
      InitiatorWWUI= iscsi.com.os.hostid.34567890
      TargetWWUI= iscsi.com.acme.diskarray.sn.8675309
   T->Login Response ("Target removed 44", F set)

   In this case the target has been removed. In contrast with codes 31
   and 32 (in B.4.4), no redirection information is supplied.

   I->Login Request
      InitiatorWWUI= iscsi.com.os.hostid.34567890
      TargetWWUI= iscsi.com.acme.diskarray.sn.8675309
   T->Login Response ("Target Conflict 45", F set)

   Here, the target is busy with another initiator and cannot handle
   another one. The initiator MAY try again later. This can be the case
   of simple devices that can handle one device or the target has
   reached the limit of its initiators' capacity. In contrast to the
   previous examples, this rejection is temporary.

   I->Login Request
      InitiatorWWUI= iscsi.com.os.hostid.34567890
      TargetWWUI= iscsi.com.acme.diskarray.sn.8675309
   T->Login Response ("Target removed 44", F set)

   Here, the target has been removed. The initiator SHOULD terminate the
   login session. It MAY query the SNS for the new location of the
   target. (This should apply for the case when the target was not found
   - code 44).

Suggestion:

   I->Login Request
      InitiatorWWUI= iscsi.com.os.hostid.34567890
      TargetWWUI= iscsi.com.acme.diskarray.sn.8675309
