Re: iSCSI: Use of Reject as a key value

Bob,

On the last pdf you will find a statement about what to do.

Julian:

Attached are 2 ascii text files.

The first, reject_extracts.txt, contains all the pieces of
draft 14 (the latest available txt version of the drafts)
that say anything about the use of Reject as a key value.
(At least all those I could find using simple search --
unfortunately, Reject is also the name of a PDU and hence
it is not a simple mechanical process to distinguish the two
uses!  If I missed some, please let me know.)

The second, reject_comments.txt, are my comments on these
excerpts from the standard.

It seems to me that the key thing missing in the standard is
a general statement about "what to do next" if a key=Reject response
is received.  Except for the OFMarkInt and IFMarkInt keys,
I could find no other statement about how to proceed after
receiving the key=Reject response.  In looking through the
e-mails posted to the list for June and July, I also could find
nothing, although many people seem to be taking the third
of the 3 interpretations I listed in reject_comments.txt.

I am requesting a clear statement somewhere in the standard that
says "what to do next" upon receiving a key=Reject response.

Thank you for your consideration.
