RE: iSCSI: Numeric Ranges

Ranges are only allowed on the marker intervals (see A.3.2, page 214, v12). Ranges are not allowed unless specifically stated by the spec.

Subject: iSCSI: Numeric Ranges


I am unclear on how to select a value when given a Numeric Range.

O-> MaxConnections=2~5

As the Responder I want 3.  The "selection rule" for MaxConnections says
"the lower of the 2 values".  So one value is 2~5 the other is 3.  Thus the
min of those is 2....?.?

If this is the case, I'm not seeing the necessity or added value of "numeric
ranges".  The initiator could just send the min value in the possible range
(when the key's selection rule is min()).

Thanks.
