    RE: iSCSI: TSID -> TSIH -> TISH -> ... ?



    > I don't see the point in renaming TSID to TSIH.
    
    An IPS email with "TSID" in the title sparked the debate as to whether or
    not TSID played a useful role in the protocol.  As part of that discussion,
    text was changed to clarifying the concept of SSID, since it was causing
    some confusion.  TSID was changed to TSIH to try to avoid the assumption
    that the TSID has a role (in combition with initiator and target names) in
    uniquely identifying the session.  It's not a substantive change.
    
    The fully qualified unique session identifier is <Initiator name+ISID> +
    <target name+TPGT>  ---note that TSID (or TSH) is not in that combination.
    The fact that it was named similarly to the ISID and SSID caused most to
    expect that it must be part of that equation.  So to effect minimal changes
    and try to avoid that confusion, the name was changed.  TSIH is/was just
    there for a target's convenience in internally pointing to session
    resources, hence "target session identifying handle".
