Technical Summary
iSCSI is a SCSI transport protocol that maps the SCSI
architecture and command sets onto TCP/IP. RFC 3720 defines the
iSCSI protocol. This document compiles the clarifications to
the original protocol definition in RFC 3720 to serve as a
companion document for the iSCSI implementers. This document
updates RFC 3720 and the text in this document supersedes the
text in RFC 3720 when the two differ.
Working Group Summary
This document consists of clarification items collected during
a period of more than one year based on implementation experience.
A number of the items have engendered significant working group
discussion about the appropriate clarification or change. The
ips WG strongly supports the resulting clarifications and changes
in this document.
