    RE: iSCSI reserved statement



    Julian,
     
    Please state it only in one place, then use the defined keyword in
    all other places.  Otherwise, multiple definitions of reserved may creep in.

    Julian:


    I was looking at section 2nd para of section 9 which states;

    "Any compliant sender MUST set all bits not defined and all reserved
    fields to zero unless specified otherwise. Any compliant receiver
    MUST ignore any bit not defined and all reserved fields unless specified
    otherwise."

    The SCP-2 defines "reserved" as
    "A keyword referring to bits, bytes, words, fields and code values that are set aside for future standardization. A reserved bit, byte, word or filed shall be set to zero, or in accordance with a future extension to this standard. Recipents are not required to check reserved bits, bytes, words or fileds for zero values. Receipt of reserved code values in defined fields shall be reported as error."

    I would like to add the third line of the above statement to the first paragraph, such that it states:
    "Any compliant sender MUST set all bits not defined and all reserved
    fields to zero unless specified otherwise. Any compliant receiver
    MUST ignore any bit not defined and all reserved fields unless specified
    otherwise." Receipt of reserved code values in defined fields shall be reported as error."


    For example, if the Additional Header Segment (AHS), the AHSType, AHS code
    was set to 0, 3-59 would report an error ( 0x09 Reason code in the Reject PDU, Invalid PDU field).


    Thanks
