    Unsolicited data PDU retry



    In section 5.2.1 Usage of Retry (draft 15), it is specified that initiators
    can resend commands that have not been acknowledged for a timeout period.
    Does this retry include re-sending unsolicited data PDU's?  The target is
    supposed to ignore non-immediate commands with duplicate CmdSN's or CmdSN's
    outside the expected range, which takes care of immediate data, but I don't
    see anywhere where it is specified that the target should ignore duplicate
    or unexpected unsolicited data PDUs.  Or, is the target supposed to hold on
    to unsolicited data PDU's for a command that it does not know about (e.g.
    because the command PDU was discarded due to a digest error) and then later
    re-associate the unsolicited data PDU's with the correct command when the
    command PDU is re-sent by the initiator?
    
    The last paragraph of section 2.4.2.2 gives some rules for the ordering of
    unsolicited data for different commands, which may also be related.
    
    Thanks,
