Re: iSCSI : Login Phase Problems

Julian,

Thanks for the clarification. Can you comment on which of the below 2
alternatives is the approach the draft intends to take :

3) If multiple Text commands are to be allowed in the login phase, how
 does a target know that the initiator is done with all its key
 negotiations and has sent all its text commands ?

 If multiple Text commands are NOT allowed in the login
 phase, then, the draft MUST state this explicitly.

Regards,
Santosh
