    Re: iSCSI: Rejecting immediate commands



    
    Ayman,
    
    The reason for requirement is to be able to handle task management commands
    and logout on every connection.
    It all adds up to the resources you allocate per connection. Task Abort
    must be given on the same connection as the aborting task.

    Julian,
    
    In draft-09 section 2.2.2.1, 6th paragraph:
    
            "..........................  Immediate commands can be rejected by
            the iSCSI target due to lack of resources. An iSCSI target MUST be
            able to handle at least one immediate task management command and
    one
            immediate non-task-management iSCSI request per connection at any
            time."
    
    If the target MUST handle two immediate commands per connection, and with
    number of connections possibly negotiated to a large value
    <number-from-1-to-65535>, this can add up to significant resources the
    session has to have.
    
    Since the command sequence numbering is session wide, I would think the
    limit should be per session, not per connection.
