RE: iSCSI: DLB's [T.6] 2.3 iSCSI Session Types

["John Hufferd" <hufferd@us.ibm.com>]

Let me add to this, I think I remember that someone might have special
x-keys they want to support.

Also, I remember the use of NOP-In commands were needed for long lasting
sessions, hence the use of MAY, if the target did not want to support long
lasting sessions.

I prefer leaving this as "MAY" for implementations that want to support new
device notifications. There was a discussion on whether discovery sessions
should be long-lived or not. Using MAY allows both without breaking any
thing.
