[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: ISCSI: Login Parameters - Defaults?Julian, But defaults are an implicit offer. If I do not offer the key the I am assuming the default. Can you re-word the sentence to incorporate what you just explained in the e-mail... This is much clearer, at least to me.

It means only that regardless of the fact that a default is available if you state first a key=value you are the originator and the other party MUST respond unless specified otherwise (as in booleans). In other words there is no such think as an implicit offer of the current or default value. Julo "LEMAY,KEVIN (A-Roseville,ex1)" <kevin_lemay@agilent.com> 04/25/2002 07:01 PM Please respond to "LEMAY,KEVIN (A-Roseville,ex1)" To: Julian Satran/Haifa/IBM@IBMIL cc: ips@ece.cmu.edu Subject: ISCSI: Login Parameters - Defaults? Page 64 in iSCSI v12 says, "All negotiations are stateless and explicit (i.e., the result MUST be based only on newly exchanged values). There is no such thing as implicit offers. If an explicit offer is not made then a reply cannot be expected." It is unclear to me how this is supposed to work. Does this mean that I must negotiate every key pair? This is confusing because chapter 11 still contains default values. If I do not negotiate a parameter, is it assumed to be set at the default or must I negotiate every parameter ? If I must negotiate every parameter, then the "default" value should be removed or renamed to "suggested setting". Thanks, Kevin Lemay
