    iSCSI DataSN Can equal 2**32



    Julian,
    At  3.7.5 there is a statement that data sequence MUST contain less then
    2**32-1 numbered PDUs.  I did not understand that since the count starts at
    0, which should mean that 2**32 PDUs could be possible.  So I do not
    understand the -1 in the count of PDUs, and I then do not understand "less
    then" (which I guess would mean 2**32-2).  I think the number should be
    able to go from 0 to 2**32-1, inclusive, which is 2*32 different PDUs and
    not "less then 2**32-1".
    
    Perhaps the statement should read that the sequence number of the Data PDU
    can not be greater then 2**32-1.  Or the total number of Data PDUs in a
    Sequence can not be greater then 2**32.
    
    But perhaps I missed something.
