RE: [storm] Last Call: <draft-ietf-storm-iscsi-cons-06.txt> (iSCSI Protocol (Consolidated)) to Proposed Standard

A number of the documents referenced by this draft are T10 (SCSI) and T11 (FC)
standards that are access-restricted to members of those organizations unless
a copy is purchased - this requirement has been imposed by the parent organization
of T10 and T11; please do not complain to T10 or T11 about this.  As the
official liaison from both T10 and T11 to the IETF, I am authorized to provide
copies of these standards to IETF participants for their personal use in
IETF activity.

This applies to the following documents:

- Normative references:
-- T10
     [SAM2] T10/1157-D, SCSI Architecture Model - 2 (SAM-2).
     [SAM3] T10/1561-D, SCSI Architecture Model - 3 (SAM-3).
     [SAM4] T10/1683-D, SCSI Architecture Model - 4 (SAM-4).
     [SBC2] NCITS.405-205, SCSI Block Commands - 2 (SBC-2).
     [SPC3] T10/1416-D, SCSI Primary Commands-3.

-- T11
     [FC-FS] INCITS 373-2003, Fibre Channel Framing and Signaling
       Interface (FC-FS).

- Informative References
-- T10
     [SAS] INCITS 376-2003, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).
     [SRP] INCITS 365-2002, SCSI RDMA Protocol (SRP).

If you would like copies of any of these standards, please send me an email
directly (please *don't* cc: either the IETF or STORM mailing lists) and
indicate which standards you would like copies of.

Of course, if you work for a company that is a T10 or T11 member, you can
get these documents directly, and I'd ask that you do so.

Thanks,
--David

>   This document describes a transport protocol for SCSI that works
>   on top of TCP. The iSCSI protocol aims to be fully compliant with
>   the standardized SCSI Architecture Model (SAM-2). RFC 3720
>   defined the original iSCSI protocol. RFC 3721 discusses iSCSI
>   Naming examples and discovery techniques. Subsequently, RFC 3980
>   added an additional naming format to iSCSI protocol. RFC 4850
>   followed up by adding a new public extension key to iSCSI. RFC
>   5048 offered a number of clarifications and a few improvements and
>   corrections to the original iSCSI protocol.
