The way it is the parameters can be checked without relation one to another. The is no logical flaw in having FirstBurstSize <> 0 and no use for it. Julo Santosh Rao <santoshr@cup.

InitialR2T=yes ? cmu.edu 06-02-02 23:32 I think this needs changing then. There's no reason the following should'nt be allowed : I -> T : InitialR2T=no ImmediateData=yes FirstBurstSize=65536 T -> I : InitialR2T=yes ImmediateData=no FirstBurstSize=0 Julian : Can we change the allowed valid range for FirstBurstSize from : FirstBurstSize=<number-512-to-(2**24-1)> to : FirstBurstSize=<number-0-to-(2**24-1)> - Santosh Eddy Quicksall wrote: > > Draft 10 says: > > FirstBurstSize=<number-512-to-(2**24-1)> > > So that means you can't send a 0, doesn't it? > > Eddy > > -----Original Message----- > From: Santosh Rao [mailto:santoshr@cup.hp.com] > Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 3:01 PM > To: Fischer, Michael > Cc: 'Eddy Quicksall'; IPS Reflector > Subject: Re: ips : Is FirstBurstSize valid when InitialR2T=yes ? > > IMO, the FirstBurstSize key value negotiated during login is a don't > care if *BOTH* immediate data and un-solicited data have been disabled. > > However, if the target knows up-front that it does not support either > immediate or un-solcited and it receives the key FirstBurstSize during > login negotiation, it should return a 0 value as the result of the > negotiation for FirstBurstSize. > > (Note that the special semantics of 0 implying no limit is no longer > true for FirstBurstSize and hence, the target can just return 0 iff both > immediata data and un-solicited data are disabled in login negotiation.) > > - Santosh > > "Fischer, Michael" wrote: > > > > What if the sequence is as follows: > > > > I->T FirstBurstSize=512; T=0; NSG=CSG; > > T->I FirstBurstSize=512; T=0; NSG=CSG; > > I->T InitialR2T=no, ImmediateData=no; T=1; NSG=FULL > > > > If the target does not support InitialR2T=no..
