iSCSI: TSID -> TSIH -> TISH -> ... ?

[Luben Tuikov <luben@splentec.com>]

Hello all,

I don't see the point in renaming TSID to TSIH.

We might as well call it TISH
(Target Identifying Session Handle) so we can
pronounce it better.

A handle usually denotes a memory pointer
(in Microsoft world) and sometimes a table pointer.

Since it is a 16 bit quantity it can never be a
memory pointer, thus MS ppl will never call it
a ``handle'' and so you're off the hook. :-))

The Change Log denotes:

- Changed TSID to TSIH to better denote its meaning

BUT the meaning of TSID/TSIH is left up to the Target!
I.e. it has NO meaning as far as iSCSI is concerned.
And this is what IDs do -- they have no meaning, but
to uniquely identify an object (purpose).

As far as anyone else is concerened its a 16 bit quantity
with 0 being a reserved value.

Lets keep the consistensy of SSID, ISID and ... TSID
(not to mention CID).

Comments?

P.S. Why wasn't this change announced on IPS?

Thanks,
