iSCSI: using the C bit

[Eddy Quicksall <eddy_quicksall@ivivity.com>]

I want to be sure I understand the use of the C bit in a login. It seems to
me that the initiator could split a key into two parts: 1st part at the end
of request A and 2nd part at the beginning of request A+1.
 
e.g., the end of request A (with C bit set) could be "Immediate" and the
beginning of request A+1 could be "Data=yes" (the full key=value pair being
"ImmediateData=yes").
 
If this is done, the target will not process the partial key and may send
his own key saying "ImmediateData=no". But, the initiator has already
constructed the negotiation and request A+1 would violate the protocol
because ImmediateData has already been negotiated.
 
Comments?
