RE: iSCSI: TargetPortalGroupTag for discovery

I think the wording in the spec says TargetPortalGroupTag should be included in the Login response.  It seems that a discovery session where multiple targets are being serviced by the same IP address is a case where TargetPortalGroupTag need not be reported?  The intent behind reporting TargetPortalGroupTag is directed towards Full Feature Sessions so that the initiator can verify that it's discovery information is still valid.

Subject: iSCSI: TargetPortalGroupTag for discovery

I have a question regarding the determination of the Target Portal Group Tag during a discovery session when the TargetName is not supplied.

 

The TargetPortalGroupTag must be reported in the first Login Response for all session types. But without the TargetName, how does the network entity determine which Target Portal Group Tag to report if two different targets in the network entity are using the same IP Address/TCP Port?
