[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: iSCSI - open issues - no discussion - recovery levelsWith respect to framing I would be firmly against replacing markers with something that would require changes to the network stack. I think it is clear that there will almost certainly be software iSCSI implementations at workstations, and that those workstations will need to provide framing / markers for hardware at the server that require them. Having come this far I think it would be a change for the worse were we to prevent software implementations that allow a hardware implementation to perform at its best. I favour MUST provide markers, and have no objection to a reference to an external framing draft as an option. With respect to recovery I agree that the all or nothing approach (2 layers) is a good choice.. - Rod -----Original Message----- From: owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu [mailto:owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu]On Behalf Of Julian Satran Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2001 2:07 PM To: ips@ece.cmu.edu Subject: iSCSI - open issues - no discussion - recovery levels Dear colleagues, Considering that the next plugfest is getting close and we would like to have version 08 ready for it. We have two open items that got little attention on the list up to now: - taking out the markers and inserting a reference to an external framing draft (what is mandatory, what is optional etc.) - recovery the recovery levels proposal The status with both is as follows: - on the framing there is consensus that it is a good idea; there is no consensus on what is MUST, SHOULD etc. - on the recovery there is consesus that it is a good idea; there is no consensus on how many layers to enforce (I think that 2 - all or nothing is a good choice). Regards, Julo
