Re: iSCSI : NOP-OUT & NOP-IN issues.

Santosh,

I will consider renaming. However the codes have now overloaded meaning
(for that we have earlier two different NOPs - and I don't feel easy having
a NOP response to no command.

Julo

Julian,

If NOP-OUT and NOP-IN were to be re-named to NOP Command and NOP Response
PDUs, this would further enhance ease of understanding of the NOP operation
semantics, removing any issues about target originating the NOP operation
through the use of NOP-IN.

Thanks & Regards,
Santosh
