RE: iSCSI: large keys during login?

["THALER,PAT (A-Roseville,ex1)" <pat_thaler@agilent.com>]

Julian,

 

I assume you mean that keys can span requests as well. I can't find anything in the draft that says that they can though there also isn't anything that says they can't. Does this only apply to key-value pairs too long to fit in a single response or can a short key-value pair span a request/response when multiple key-value pairs are packed into a PDU?

 

The draft should clarify.

Key can span 
responses. Bookmarking is for things that have multiple answers - like the

I thought that was covered. If you say you can do 
kerberos or SPKM, you
are saying you can do 64k.

Take 
care,
