Re: iSCSI: reference for CRC32C?

Nice - Marjorie & all - Did you by any chance look at the reference section?
I will add also a pointer to it although - as Pat pointed out -  this does not really belong
in this section.

Agreed, It does specify the algorithm. But IMHO the spec should still
cite the original source --- Castagnoli et al. --- because that is the
original source.  And because that's where to start looking, for anyone
who cares about the ins and outs of the specific choice of algorithm.

The citation i have  handy is:
@Article{castagnoli-crc,
  author =       { Guy Castagnoli and Stefan Braeuer and Martin Herrman},
  title =        {{Optimization of Cyclic Redundancy-Check Codes with 24
                  and 32 Parity Bits}},
  journal =      IEEE Transactions on Communication,
  year =         {1993},
  volume =       {41},
  number =       {6},
  pages =        {},
  month =        {June},
}

(I have a hardcopy, with page numbers, if I can find it.)
