RE: iSCSI: Immediate Data

["John Hufferd" <hufferd@us.ibm.com>]

Mike,
Defaults imply only that they are defaults, not that they are a required by
an iSCSI profile.  If you do not want to support a default, just say NO.

iSCSI conformance is determined by the MUST statements in the protocol
document.

Well, here is my $.02 (overpriced as it may be).  I agree that the
performance of ImmediateData my be indisputable but as I have not seen any
metrics or performed any tests on it myself I cannot say.

I, however, do not think that it is as easy as just saying yes or no to the
ImmediateData command.  If you do not support the defaults, how can you
claim to be a iSCSI device?
