RE: [iSER] Connection_Handle question

["Dan Bar Dov" <danb@voltaire.com>]

I think you are discussing "implementation" rather than "protocol".

While the datamover architecture concept is nice, I don't
believe is should be a "standard". The wire protocol is a standard,
and that covers both iSCSI and iSER. How and where an iSCSI 
implementation supports iSER has nothing to do with it.

We first implemented DA, including necessary extensions to it.
We then had to ditch it altogether, due to a different iSCSI implementation.
