Re: iSCSI: large keys during login?

["Julian Satran" <Julian_Satran@il.ibm.com>]

Both the F bit and the T bit have clear interpretation specified - they are similar but not identical. F bit is the end of the life of text request (and its ITT).
T bit does not have this implication for Login. That is also the reason for the name change :-)

Hello,

I believe the other point was the use of the F bit in Text 
requests/responses.  In Login Text requests/responses, the same bit 
position is known as the T bit and is defined as the "Transition" to next 
stage indicator.

Does this mean that the T bit in login request/responses should be 
interpreted in the same way as the F bit in text requests/responses?

If this is the case, is this dual meaning of the T bit desirable?  At the 
least, it would be useful for the spec to explicitly state the dual usage 
to remove any ambiguity.
