Logins that are not progressing

I have a few questions related to iSCSI logins based on the following scenarios:

1) An initiator has begun a login and is now sending multiple Login Request PDU's where the data segment length is zero, T=0, and C=0.

2) An initiator has begun a login and is now sending multiple Login Request PDU's where the data segment length is non-zero, T=0, and C=0.  For example, the initiator may be sending unique private extension keys in the data segment of each login request PDU.

3) An initiator has begun a login and is now sending multiple Login Request PDU's with a non-zero data segment length, T=0, and C=1.

Questions:

Is a target allowed to fail a login after some "not making progress" limit is reached in any or all of these scenarios?
If so, what are some practical "not making progress" limits and what is the proper login response?
How should a target handle scenario #3 if it has no more resources to handle the ever-growing data segment?

Thanks,
Paul
