Hi Julian,

I cannot see any reason to special-case the first LOGIN command of a
session
to be non-immediate. From the target's perpective, there is no session
state
in existence for that initial LOGIN, so there isn't even a CmdSN-based
session queue to put it on! If the spec mandated this initial LOGIN to be
immediate it can be executed without needing to handle the specific case of
a sequenced command when there is no session to sequence it on.

I recommend that all LOGIN phase pdus be immediate. Please.


Thanks,
