I don't know what your original mail was :-) Julo

Hi,
 
I have been following the discussion on this thread.
 
I still have certain doubts regarding the
conditions I specified in my original mail.
 
The conditions are :
 
FirstBurstSize = 64KB
EDTL = 100KB ( EDTL > FirstBurstSize)
MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 8KB
ImmediateData = Yes
InitialR2T = Yes
 
In the above case the initiator cannot send unsolicited Data-out PDUs.
Here unsolicited data(ImmediateData) < FirstBurstSize.
 
Will the target report any error in this case?
 
The modified text for Section 9.4.6.2 only refers to the cases
where unsolicited Data-outs can be sent.
 
Please clarify if I am missing something very obvious.
 
 
Thanks,

Eddy, 

I assume you meant EDTL not DSL and then the answer is yes and I again forgot to subtract  the immediate. A better formulation would be: 

The target reports the "Incorrect amount of data" condition if dur-ing data output the total data length to output is greater than First-BurstSize and the initiator sent unsolicited non-immediate data but the total amount of unsolicited data is different than FirstBurst-Size. The target reports the same error when the amount of data sent as a reply to an R2T does not match the amount requested.

Isn't this saying that if DSL > FirstBurstSize, it would be incorrect to send non-immediate unsolicited which is not equal to FirstBurstSize? 
  
The target reports the "Incorrect amount of data" condition if dur-ing data output the total data length to output is greater than First-BurstSize, but the initiator sent an amount different than FirstBurstSize of unsolicited non-immediate data or the amount of data sent as a reply to an R2T does not match the amount requested.
