Re: iSCSI: Checking the I bit

I think we have a (silent) consensus on making it 0 :-)  Julo

Is it necessary for the initiator to check the I bit in every response?

If an initiator does not need it, then I don't want to take the extra time
to check it. I think this is consistent with the thinking of all attendees
of the UNH Plug Fest because the report from UNH IOL was that "all
companies failed that test".

I would like to propose adding some wording to 3.2.1.1 similar to "It is
not necessary to check this bit for 1 if the implementation in the
initiator does not need its use".
