RE: iscsi : DataPDULength can differ in each direction.

It may add complexity, but, since DataPDULength is only a boundary on
the maximum number of bytes transmitted in a Data PDU (not the minimum),
"the first" *does* have a say about it.  Right?

I think this will add unnecessary complexity, specially for data CRCs
having
to be calculated based on two different PDU sizes for Reads and Writes.
Also, one end may choose to do data digests in software. If the other
end
decides to use a really large PDU length (and the first doesn't have a
say
about it), this could be a problem.
