    Julian,

    iSCSI-13 uses "length" quite a bit more than 100 times. Many of those times are in regard to the length of data, headers, and PDUs

    e.g.
    The basic header segment has a fixed length of 48 bytes.
    Expected Data Transfer Length
    Each PDU contains the payload length and the data offset....

    It also uses size about 40 times with the same meaning as length. Most of these are the terms MaxBurstSize and FirstBurstSize and text associated with those terms.

    It would be better (less likely to confuse readers and better for those of us who look for information using search tools) to choose one of those terms and always use it when talking about length/size. I don't care which is chosen.

    Pat
