RE: iscsi : iscsi parameter default values

My apologies, I did not notice that the "reject" I am referring to below
only applies to list negotiations ... so, I retract this EMAIL.

BTW,

Since 2.2.4 says:

 If a target is not supporting, or not allowed to use with a specific
 initiator, any of the offered options, it may use the value "reject".

I assume the below would be legal:

I -> ImmediateData=yes
T <- ImmediateData=reject

The target "is not supporting" immediate data so it is now telling the
initiator "no".

Comments?

I think this should be spelled out very clearly. Something like:

For any leading negotiation, the responding party MUST respond. If the
response is reject, <I don't know what to suggest here because it would
depend on the key and you can't say "take the default" because the above
would require the target to disconnect (unless we make the default be
"no")>.
