And it is option B with some details and using the X bit. Julo "KRUEGER,MARJORIE (HP-Roseville,ex1)" <marjorie_krueger@hp.com>@ece.cmu.edu on 28-08-2001 20:15:29 Please respond to "KRUEGER,MARJORIE (HP-Roseville,ex1)" <marjorie_krueger@hp.com> Sent by: owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu To: ips@ece.cmu.edu cc: Subject: RE: iSCSI: reusing ISID for recovery I am opposed to doing anything before authentication as this opens opportunities for DOS attacks or some new form of hacking. Also, this would be a "special case" behavior for login, and I'm sure I speak for all implementors when I beg you not to create unnecessary special case behavior. We like a simple state machine for the login process. I agree, w/Jim, this looks much like a more complicated option B, and the value escapes me?
