iSCSI: AsyncEvent Table

["John Hufferd" <hufferd@us.ibm.com>]

Julian,
in version 9 we had the following words for AsyncEvent code 1:

'Initiator MUST send a Logout with a reason code of "Close the connection"
to cleanly shutdown the connection. The initiator MAY also issue a Logout
with the reason code of "Close the session", to completely close the
session, but ONLY if it does not support or use multiple connections in the
specific session.'

In version 10 we had the following words for AsyncEvent code 1:

'Initiator MUST send a Logout with a reason code of "Close the connection"
(if not the only connection) OR "Close the session" (if using multiple
connections) '

In version 12 it is changed to the following:

 'Initiator MUST send a Logout with a reason code of "Close the connection"
(if not the only connection) OR "Close the session" to close all the
connections (if using multiple connections). '

Which is where things are today.  So the big change occurred between 9 &
10.  But that change was not in the Change Log, so I am wondering if it was
changed in error, or what?

The question, is if this wordage is correct, please note we went from "....
Close the session... Only if it does not support multiple connections ...."
. to  " ...Close the session.... (if using multiple connections)"

And now there is no statements as to what to do if you have a single
connection session.

What should be done in that case?
