iSCSI 0.13 vs. iSCSI Plugfest

["John Hufferd" <hufferd@us.ibm.com>]

Pat Thaler pointed out to me that point 4 will also have an effect.  (A
constant will have to change.)

The following are the items that are new in Draft 13:

1. Text cleanup
2. Limited decimal encoding to 64 bit integers
3. Logout Request reason code moved to byte 1
4.  Renamed MaxRecvPDULength to MaxRecvDataSegmentLength
5.  Large Numbers allowed only if explicitely stated
6.  CHAP is the mandatory to implement in-band authentication and SRP is
optional
7.  A negotiation answer is permitted only if all key=value pairs are
complete. A flag indicates completion.
8. Clearing effects appendix simplified - SCSI effects are now part of
[SPC3]
9. Made explicit a rule a bout checking when committing a negotiation
10. Added code 4 for Asynch Message - request negotiation


It is unlikely that the above will effect the Plugfest very much: only #3,
#7, and #10 might have an effect in what is planned to be tested, and #7
needs to be checked.  These are a small changes to most implimentations.
