    Re: iSCSI minimum PDU length



    We are attempting to make it a uniform limit for the DataSegment for all 
    PDUs (Data, Login, Text, NOP etc.).

    If you are only talking about Data PDUs, then at least I understand.

    Julian,
    Perhaps I do not understand what you are getting at here, but since there
    will be implementations with only R2T type Sessions, then there should be 
    a
    lot of PDUs that just carry the Command (48 bytes + digest) it seems that 
    a
    1024 is kind of big.  What am I missing?

    With no votes against we have settled (again) on single PDU length (per
    connection, per direction) for all types of PDUs.
    But I think we erred on the low side by suggesting 64 as a minimum. It is
    low (it was mentioned) and bad for text request/response.
    
    How about settling for 1024?
