    iSCSI: Login clarification



    
    Julian,
    
    In the current draft, in section 2.2.3 on iSCSI login, it is stated at the
    end of the section:
       
         Any message sent on a TCP connection before this connection gets into
         full feature phase at the initiator should be rejected by the initiator.
         A message reaching a target on a TCP connection before the full feature
         phase will be rejected with an iSCSI check condition.
    
    I'm somewhat surprised by the choice of check condition as a means to indicate
    rejection before the full feature phase begins - If we continue to choose such
    mechanisms, somebody might pollute this space with a need of transport 
    related/based sense keys or ASC, ASCQs to fully qualify a check condition.
    
    I tend to believe that until the full feature phase begins, the negotiations
    are at the transport level (iSCSI), and as such an iSCSI message to indicate
    rejection might be more appropriate ?
