At login any connection that is not the first is created with the same session-identifier. All this is explained at some length in section 2 and you will find there also the mapping to SCSI port 3 - the motivation - "only" performance and availability Julo Menqiu Wang <wangmq@abaqos.com> Sent by: owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu 07-12-01 22:44 To: ips@ece.cmu.edu cc: Subject: Questions about Multiple connections in a session Hi, I read the iSCSI draft 09, and I get a little bit confused about multiple connections within a session. (1) As my understanding, this means that during a session, there can be serveral TCP connections co-existing at the same time. Is this right? (2) But how do they get connected? At the initiator side, they use different IP addresses, and at the target side, they share the same TCP port and use different IP addresses? If this is right, it sounds weird because usually storage devices on the network only have one IP address. What's relationship between iSCSI TCP port and SCSI port? (2) What's the motivation to support multiple connection within a session? Just for performance and reliability? Any of your help will be really appreciated. Thanks, Mengqiu
