    RE: iSCSI: Small editorial update




    Eddy,

    Where is the implication?  I am re-reading the text and I do not see it.
    If it is in the order of presentation then would the reverse order imply write data before read?

    Julo,
     
    At least, I don't think is is a good idea to leave an implication that is not correct. I'm referring to the fact that 9.7.5 clearly implies that a bidirectional command must have data-in before data-out.

    Eddy - the text says already  "... the input PDU number" it repeats the sharing statement - I think it has enough to get things clear.

    I have changed bi-directional to bidirectional.

    The 1st paragraph needs a little change too. It implies that a
    bi-directional command must have data-in before data-out. If you had
    data-out first and R2Ts were being used, the DataSN would start with the
    last R2TSN + 1.

    And the 1st paragraph of 9.8.1 should probably say "starting with 0 for
    unidirectional commands" instead of "starting with 0".

    Also, SAM-2 uses the term "bidirectional" not "bi-directional". Can you
    change that too?

    Julian,
    I think we need to add a clause that denotes that a bi-directional command
    is being addressed in the second paragraph under 9.7.5 in your working
    draft 14.  We should add the expression ", in the context of bidirectional
    commands, ".  The following would be the revised paragraph.

    "R2T and Data-In PDUs, in the context of bi-directional commands, share the
    numbering sequence (see Section 2.2.2.3 Data Sequencing)."

    I know it should be obvious when one really thinks about it, however,  it
    make the intent easier to understand.
