Re: iSCSI - TTT in negotiations

["Julian Satran" <Julian_Satran@il.ibm.com>]

Bookmarks (TTT) are not mandated for a a general purpose negotiation (a sequence of text request responses). We created it for long responses mainly (SendTargets and futures)..

What we are proposing now is to mandate it for every request/response that has F=0 and use it to reset/time-out
a negotiation in general.

Julian,

I thought we already had the below mechanism in place since 7.9x and TTT
in text cmd/rsp had already replaced the bookmark mechanisms.

What, then, is being proposed below ??
