Re: iSCSI: Byte1 Bit 7 Seems Not to be reserved

John,

If you are referring to the fact that a reserved bit has to be 0 - that is not so.
The statement about reserved is that they are 0 unless explicitly said otherwise.
There are some other reserved positions that are set to 1.

Julian,
in Draft 9, the SCSI Response PDU picture shows Byte 1 Bit 7 (normally the Final Flag) to be set to 1.  Yet the Text that follows the picture says that Byte 1 Bit 7 -5 is reserved.  We should probably make those consistent.   I think you meant to indicate that the Response was the only PDU associated with this action, so I think you need to mark only Byte 1 bit 6-5 as reserved.
