Re: iSCSI: State Transitions..

Naveen,

I see that you are suggesting a different "lay-out"
for the current state diagram.

The lay-out logic for the current state diagram is 
different.  All the "regular" transitions (that 
take place in the absence of exceptions) are laid
out in a single flow (two segments, one vertical
to LOGGED_IN, one horizontal to log out).  Please 
note that S7 is not a regular state - ditto for S8.

In any case, there's a subjective element here.  I
need more voices wanting an exception state in the
middle of the "regular" flow, to convince me to invest 
my time in doing ASCII redrawings in a FrameMaker doc...

Thanks.
