Section 4.1 Login Phase Start

["BURBRIDGE,MATTHEW (HP-UnitedKingdom,ex2)" <matthew_burbridge@hp.com>]

I'm confused by the following statement from section 4.1 (third paragraph.

"... However, it is OPTIONAL for all the connections after the first. It is
ignored by the target for new connections within an existing session."

If the iSCSI target Name is ignored by the target on all connections other
than the first then why is it optional for the initiator to include it.
Either it is optional and the target should not ignore it (e.g. check the
name against the existing session), or it should not be sent at all.

Thanks
