SLP and iSNS will already do this and since SLP is mandatory to implement, 
this feature already exists.

Discovery sessions should be short lived, they tie up network 
resources.  Can you imagine 1000 initiators with long lived discovery 
sessions on a target ?  Any sensible target will probably implement a timer 
on a discovery session anyway.
