I will combine my responses to Mallikarjun and Tom in one e-mail. I am fine with using the term "Base Offset" instead of "Virtual Address". It will be defined in the Definition section as "This represents a value to be added to the Buffer Offset in order to obtain the Tagged Offset." So in sec. 2.4.1, the text "The base Tagged Offset is not explicitly specified, but the target must always assume it as zero" will be deleted. In sec. 7.3.5 on SCSI Data-in, the original text "It MUST use the Buffer Offset from the SCSI Data-in PDU as the Data Sink Tagged Offset of the RDMA Write Message" will be replaced with: "It MUST add the Buffer Offset from the SCSI Data-in PDU to the Base Offset as the Data Sink Tagged Offset of the RDMA Write Message." Similarly, in sec. 7.3.6 on Ready To Transfer, the original text "MUST use the Buffer Offset from the R2T PDU as the Data Source Tagged Offset of the RDMA Read Request Message" will be replaced with: "MUST add the Buffer Offset from the R2T PDU to the Base Offset as the Data Source Tagged Offset of the RDMA Read Request Message."
