RE: iSCSI: No Framing

["Amir Shalit" <amir@astutenetworks.com>]

In second thought this is the preferred solution for now. Not
selecting any type of framing until more progress at the transport
level which may include running iSCSI on a modified TCP protocol etc.

Nicely put Jim.  My current opinion is that this issue has contributed to a
delay in getting this spec out in to the wild.  This issue MUST be closed
next week and I don't see anything close to a consensus.  My preferred
approach is to drop this issue now and to look at it at a later date in
terms of an IPS re-charter when we get to thinking about version 2 of iSCSI
or have some good approaches proposed by the tsvwg or the RDMA WG.
