This document is illustrative of potential modifications to
the iSCSI protocol proposal (draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-05+.txt).
These changes are to create a means to do the following:

 - Ensure Management response is coherent.

 - Acknowledge ALL requests delivered to the Server.

 - Ensure integrity of the iSCSI request window.

 - Open request window during abnormal events.

 - Quickly eliminate invalidated requests.

 - Quickly expunge sequence holes.

 - Simplify the reception sequencer.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-otis-iscsi-fullack-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
