    Re: iSCSI:Time2Retain



    
    John,
    
    The intent of the parametrs is the same and we will fix the wording to say
    it.
    
    Thanks,
    Julo

    Julian,
    I am wondering if we have a minor discrepancy between the Asynchronous
    Message PDU and the Logout Response PDU.
    
    The Asynchronous Message Parameter3 is the "Time2Retain" variable, and it
    is the maximum time to reconnect after the initial wait (Parameter2) which
    is the "Time2Wait".
    
    The Logout Response PDU has both the "Time2Wait" and the "Time2Retain" but
    the "Time2Retain" is defined as the "maximum time that the target waits for
    a connection reinstatement Login after which the connection state is
    discarded", and that definition makes no reference to the "Time2Wait".
    
    Since Both "Time2Wait" and "Time2Retain" are specified in both PDUs, the
    question is: did we intend in the Logout Response PDU to have no relation
    between the two values, and did we intend the two Commands to have
    different interpretations of the "Time2Retain" variable?
    
    .
