    Re: iSCSI: Canonical Targets



    How about this instead:
    
    2. A discovery target MUST be accessible on the default tcp port
       on each IP address on which an iSCSI implementation is listening
       for iSCSI connections.  This default tcp port will often be the
       IANA-assigned TCP port for iSCSI.  If the implementation is
       listening on multiple TCP ports, the discovery target MAY be
       accessible on each TCP port.
