We agreed that we will examine the need for both immediate and non-immediate unsolicited in the same execution and this is by no means a major simplification.

John, I think you've taken a wrong turn. > First, immediate and unsolicited separate Data PDUs are very valuable for > situations where the Target is at distance from the Initiator. Ok, that's fine. > Second, thoughts of removing the immediate data seem not to be > simplification, since all the information to tie the data to the command is > right there with the command. That has got to be easier than matching up > separate PDUs of data with the appropriate commands. Actually, that was the point, since the logic for "matching up separate PDUs of data with the appropriate commands" has to exist for inbound Data PDUs already. The slide I presented in London was about replacing immediate data with an unsolicited data PDU immediately following the command, thus removing the immediate data case in favor of reusing the logic for dealing with separate Data PDUs. Remember that this was presented as a simplification possibility. Comments? --David --------------------------------------------------- David L.
