Re: iSCSI: Numeric Ranges

Mike,

The example is unfortunate. MaxConnection has o use a numeric-value and not a numeric-range.
Numeric ranges are used in Appendix A for marker intervals as an example - in which case the originator indicates a range it can support and the responder selects a value.

I am unclear on how to select a value when given a Numeric Range.

O-> MaxConnections=2~5

As the Responder I want 3.  The "selection rule" for MaxConnections says
"the lower of the 2 values".  So one value is 2~5 the other is 3.  Thus the
min of those is 2....?.?

If this is the case, I'm not seeing the necessity or added value of "numeric
ranges".  The initiator could just send the min value in the possible range
(when the key's selection rule is min()).

Thanks.
