RE: Full Feature Phase and Digests

Okay, I understand my question now.  Thank you for explaining it to me.

What you say makes sense.  Take a look at the "Symbolic names for States"
under table 5.1.2 for my confusion on LOGGED_IN.  I think that is its
source.

Also, I searched on full feature phase, full-feature phase, and Full Feature
Phase (Did I miss any?  FullFeaturePhase is a bit name and understandably a
different object.), but I am still having trouble understanding when the
connection leaves Full Feature Phase.

Is it when both sides have sent the TCP FIN bit, or does it end when sending
a certain iSCSI PDU?  I am inclined to believe the former for simplicity's
sake.  The text talks about Full Feature Phase ending as a target/initiator
session attribute, but not Full Feature Phase ending as a connection
attribute as far as I can tell.  (Full Feature Phase is an attribute of the
connection according to the last partial sentence on page 36).

Or is this picking nits?
