Subject:  iscsi: out of order unsolicited data




Hello,

Page 17 of iscsi rev6 draft says

Unsolicited data MUST be sent on every connection in the same order in
which commands were sent. A target receiveing data out of order SHOULD
termintate the session

My question is if the PDU was delivered in correct order from initiator but
not received in correct order by target because it got missed somewhere in
the path, shouldn't the target wait for retransmission instead of
terminating the session.

Regards,
Sanjeev
