Re: iSCSI: Decimal encoding - why 64 bits ?

[Mark Bakke <mbakke@cisco.com>]

For what it's worth, none of the numeric values for iSCSI that
can be retrieved or set via the MIB require more than 32 bits
(other than counters, but I doubt we would ever send a counter
during negotiation :-).  The allowable ranges just didn't need
more than that.

Anyway, I haven't seen a need to provide support for 64-bit
values in our implementation yet, since none of the numeric
keys can have values that high.
