    iSNS: Last Call technical comments



    Hi Folks,
    
    A few of the coauthors went through a final round of review
    of iSNS revision -14 for WG last call, and came up with the following
    two technical comments:
    
    1)  The spec needs to say that Discovery Domain membership for Storage
    Nodes MUST be persistent, even after deregistration of a member
    Storage Node.  When a deregistered device is re-registered into the
    iSNS database, it retains the DD membership state that it had
    immediately prior to its deregistration.
    
    The text to address this has been added to the last paragraph of
    section 3.2.2.
    
    2)  In iSNS revision -14, attempted deregistration of a non-existent
    Discovery Domain (section 6.6.5.10) or Discovery Domain Set (section
    6.6.5.12) returned an error code.  We do not believe this is standard
    behavior for query-response protocols, and recommend changing this
    so that attempted deregistration of non-existent entries does not
    return an error code.
    
    The text to address this has been added to sections 6.6.5.10 and
    6.6.5.12 to explicitly state that attempted deregistrations of
    non-existent entries SHALL not be considered an error.
    
    The remaining comments are all editorial.  I am submitting iSNS
    revision -15 to IETF today, but a .pdf version can be found here:
    
    www.nishansystems.com/ietf/draft-ietf-ips-isns-15.pdf
    
    All deltas from the -14 revision, including the editorial updates
    and the two technical changes, are highlighted in the .pdf file.
    
    Regards,
    Josh Tseng
