    Re: iSCSI: NopIn in ping mode can contain data?



    Julo,
    By this we should be able to say one thing, NOPIn in ping mode can 
    contain data. What every care has to be taken about the data. Now, what
    should be the solicited data? In sense, the data which the initiator
    could use for tuning, negotiation etc...??
