    RE: iSCSI: DLB's [T.6] 2.3 iSCSI Session Types



    Ayman,
    
    Something needs to be cleaned up here, as the current text appears
    to allow all types of iSCSI PDUs on a discovery session.  I didn't
    intend to restrict a discovery session to one Send Targets followed
    by a logout (i.e., it could be kept open with the initiator periodically
    sending a new Send Targets to see if anything has changed), but I
    did intend to forbid SCSI commands, task management, etc. on Discovery
    sessions.  Is that reasonable, or are there additional types of iSCSI
    PDUs that you want to see allowed for new device notifications?
    
    Thanks,
    --David
