RE: Framing Discussion

[Black_David@emc.com]

With my WG co-chair hat on.

(1) Doug Otis continues to assert that placing TCP payloads
at predetermined memory addresses based on examination
of iSCSI headers constitutes a modification to TCP.  That
assertion is incorrect, and the packet filter example to
which Doug referred is an example of why that assertion
is incorrect.

(2) Doug Otis continues to attempt to discuss the API for
achieving such placement on this mailing list.  Since this
WG is not permitted to modify TCP, APIs for modified TCPs
are out of scope and hence should not be discussed here.
Packet filter APIs are also out of scope and likewise
should not be discussed here.

Use of this mailing list for discussions that do not conform
to the above two items is hereby actively discouraged.  Please
take note.

Thanks,
--David
