The IESG has received a request from the STORage Maintenance WG (storm) to consider the following document: - 'Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) SCSI Features Update' <draft-ietf-storm-iscsi-sam-06.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-08-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Please note the concurrent Last Call for draft-ietf-storm-iscsi-cons, as both drafts should be reviewed together. Abstract Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) is a SCSI transport protocol that maps the SCSI family of protocols onto TCP/IP. The iSCSI protocol as specified in [draft-ietf-storm- iscsi-cons-xx] (and as previously specified by the combination of RFC 3720 and RFC 5048) is based on the SAM-2 (SCSI Architecture Model - 2) version of the SCSI family of protocols. This document defines enhancements to the iSCSI protocol to support certain additional features of the SCSI protocol that were defined in SAM-3, SAM-4, and SAM-5. This document is a companion document to [draft-ietf-storm- iscsi-cons-xx]. -------------------------------------------------------- RFC EDITORS NOTE: The above references to [draft-ietf-storm- iscsi-cons-xx] should reference the RFC number assigned to that document, and this note should be removed. -------------------------------------------------------- This last call explicitly identifies these downrefs in the normative references of this document: [SAM2] T10/1157D, SCSI Architecture Model - 2 (SAM-2).
