Nandakumar,

I will repeat AND quote my message again, since it seems that
you DIDN'T read it.

As you see I said ``the next available (eq. 0x0000)'', so to answer your
pointless message: IF THERE IS AVALABLE VERSION DESCRIPTOR
THEN THE iSCSI IMPLEMENTATION SHOULD SET IT.

So, shouldn't this be mentioned in the draft?

Can someone more authoritative comment on this?

Julian, Mallikarjun, can you guys comment on this.

P.S. Nandrakumar, I cannot believe that you ACTUALLY copied
and TYPED the standard into your message -- apparently you
have NOTHING else to do, but not read messages and
type and copy standards into your messages which are
readily available on the net.
I'm subscribing to 4 more mailing lists and in no one
of those it is soooo difficult. Building your carreer
in a mailing list is always the wrong thing to do!
