Re: StatSN and Reject PDUs

Dean,

StatSN is in fact advanced for the RejectPDU (which is what it does usually
with responses :-).

iSCSI draft 20, section 10.17.3 -- StatSN, ExpCmdSN, MaxCmdSN states:
These fields carry their usual values and are not related to the rejected
command.


I think I understand the ExpCmdSN and MaxCmdSN behavior,
because section 6.3 explains that CmdSN is not advanced if the
PDU being rejected is a command PDU, and MaxCmdSN
advances are at the discretion of the target.


In the case of StatSN, the above statement implies to me that StatSN
in a Reject PDU behaves similar to StatSN in an R2T (section 10.8.3),
in that it contains the next StatSN, and the StatSN for this connection
is not advanced after the Reject PDU is sent. Is this a correct
interpretation?
