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

I'm not sure what Mark means by "we", but I am opposed to any dynamic
discovery mechanisms for SendTargets because of my belief that these
mechanisms does not belong here. Therefore I vote against Noop and Async
messages,

Actually, we want to be able to send Async Message and Noop In
from the target, and allow the initiator to send Noop Out, since
these are more in the iSCSI session maintenance category of
messages.

There's definitely no reason to allow Scsi Command / Response,
Task Management Command / Response, Data In/Out, Snack, and
R2T on a discovery session.
