[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: FW: FW: iSCSI: support value of ?
There was a potential proposal for extracting the eui, from the host, or if
you will -- the platform name, which might be used by a Gateway Device, and
that was for the gateway to ask with a keyword followed by the "?". But we
have not reached closure on any thing like that for now.

Julian:
I first brought up the subject of eliminating ? last December.
Your reply is attached below.
Perhaps this latest round of e-mail postings is enough to
support my contention that ? should be eliminated??
