    RE: ISCSI: Login Parameters - Defaults?



    Julian,
     
    But defaults are an implicit offer. If I do not offer the key the I am
    assuming the default.
     
    Can you re-word the sentence to incorporate what you just explained in the
    e-mail... This is much clearer, at least to me.

    It means only that regardless of the fact that a default is available if you
    state first a key=value you are the originator and the other party MUST
    respond unless specified otherwise (as in booleans). In other words there is
    no such think as an implicit offer of the current or default value.

    Page 64 in iSCSI v12 says,
    
    "All negotiations are stateless and explicit (i.e., the result MUST be
    based only on newly exchanged values). There is no such thing as implicit
    offers. If an explicit offer is not made then a reply cannot be expected."
    
    It is unclear to me how this is supposed to work. Does this mean that I must
    negotiate every key pair? This is confusing because chapter 11 still
    contains default values.
    
    If I do not negotiate a parameter, is it assumed to be set at the default or
    must I negotiate every parameter ?
    
    If I must negotiate every parameter, then the "default" value should be
    removed or renamed to "suggested setting".
    
    Thanks,
