iSCSI: Rev 07 Comments

["Bill Moody" <bmoody@Crossroads.com>]

I have a couple of points I'd like to raise concerning the 07 version of
the document.

Section 1.5.3.  On page 39, under 'iSCSI Initiator Requirements' the
term initiator portal group is used multiple times.  This is the first
use of this term and led to some confusion on my part.  The 'portal
group' term was clearly defined earlier and was used repeatedly in
connection with the target but no mention has been made of the use of
initiator portal groups prior to this point.  The ISID RULE clearly
defines that only one session with a given ISID can exist between a
given iSCSI Initiator and iSCSI Target Portal Group - it doesn't mention
initiator portal groups.  It would be nice to define this 'initiator
portal group' term prior to its use.

Appendix A.  What is the meaning of the value '11EDC6F41' in the table?
Is this the generator polynomial that is discussed in the following
paragraph?  If so, it is not clear.

Thanks,
