This draft is a work item of the IP Storage Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: String Profile for iSCSI Names

The iSCSI protocol provides a way for hosts to access SCSI devices
over an IP network.  The iSCSI end-points, called initiators and
targets, each have a globally-unique name that must be transcribable,
as well as easily compared.
This document describes how to prepare internationlized iSCSI names
to increase the likelihood that name input and comparison work in
ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
