    RE: iSCSI: Nailing down CRC-32C



    All,
    
    Based on the finalization of the parameters of CRC-32C per following
    parameters, I obtained a check of 0xE3069283 for the nine-byte string of
    "123456789" (9 bytes) that the Rocksoft CRC document refers to.
    
    Name   : "CRC-32C"
    Width  : 32
    Poly   : 1EDC6F41   (note that the leading "1" is implied)
    Init   : FFFFFFFF
    RefIn  : True
    RefOut : True
    XorOut : FFFFFFFF
    Check  : E3069283
    
    It would be nice if other independant checks can validate this.

    Mark,
    
    My basic assumption was that everything is (as in all IP related standards)
    in network order.

    Julian-
    
    That's great; it covers nearly everything.  The only thing left
    is the byte order; are they taken in the same order Ethernet uses?
    
    If so, I can generate a few test patterns that our implementations
    can all check against.
    
    Thanks,
