Re: iSCSI "bad practice"

Sure I can - I wanted to point out that such an answer will be harder to
read (infer) on  a trace and I can change it to:

   For numerical (and binary) negotiations, the responding party SHOULD
   respond with the required key but the offering party MUST accept no
   answer as equivalent to answering with the default value.

 Thanks,
 Julo

Subject:  iSCSI "bad practice"




I don't think statements like "However not responding is considered bad
practice and is  discouraged." should be in a spec.

The problem with this kind of statement is "well, what do I do if someone
does that?". There can be all sorts of interpretations. If "not responding"
is allowed, then so be it. If you don't want someone to "not respond", then
say so.

Can we please remove all of those ambiguous statements from the spec?
