I understand, but then I have a question about 9.16:
"The numbered-response(s) or R2T(s), requested by a SNACK, MUST be
delivered as exact replicas of the ones the initiator missed except for
the fields ExpCmdSN, MaxCmdSN and ExpDataSN which MUST carry the current
values."

What about StatSN? For R2T, shall the target send the StatSN used the
first time, or should it carry the current value? An old StatSN might
confuse the initiator.
Should I read "... except for the fields ExpCmdSN, MaxCmdSN, ExpDataSN
(and StatSN for R2T(s)) which MUST carry the current values?"
