    BKF Comments on iSCSI version 14



    I've sent a list of editorial comments directly to Julian.
    
    Technical comments:
    
    T1:  
    
    Although it is alluded to in section 11.10, the document must explicitly
    define the effective value of Buffer Offset for immediate data.  Possible
    sections for doing so include 2.2.4 and 9.3.6.
    
    T2:  
    
    I agree with the recent reflector discussion that decimal is only used for
    numbers, hex for numbers and binary, and base64 only for binary items.  I
    believe the debate should focus on the utility of the existing iSCSI type
    definitions and avoid getting derailed by anecdotal references to data types
    in other RFCs.
    
    T3:  
    
    Section 4.3.1, page 80:  "If the reconfiguration of iSCSI portal groups is a
    concern in a given environment, the iSCSI initiator MUST use this key to
    ascertain that it had indeed initiated the Login Phase with the intended
    target portal group."
    
    The use of MUST in the final sentence is untestable and should probably be
    lower-case "should".
    
    T4:  
    
    Section 11.8, page 215:  "If the TargetAddress is returned as the result of
    a redirect status in a login response, the comma and portal group tag are
    omitted."
    
    For interoperability reasons, I believe "are omitted" should be "MUST be
    omitted".
    
    T5:  
    
    Section 11.8, page 215:  "If the TargetAddress is returned within a
    SendTargets response, the portal group tag is required."
    
    For interoperability reasons, I believe "is required" should be "MUST be
    included".
