Pat -----Original Message----- From: John Hufferd [mailto:hufferd@us.ibm.com] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 9:15 AM To: Eddy Quicksall Cc: ips Subject: RE: iSCSI: NOP-In Eddy, et.al. Initiators can not originate a ping with data. But it can echo a ping with ^^^^^^^^^^ Targets ?? data. That is, it can reflect back to the initiator, via a NOP-In, the data that was sent to it within a NOP-Out from the initiator. However, the target may not originate a ping via a NOP-In and include Data. This was done, if I remember the history correctly, because initiators are never prepared to accept unsolicited data of any kind. They always solicit data if they are to receive it. Hence, an unsolicited NOP-In with data, seemed to some to be problematical, and that capability was removed. . . . John L.
