Re: iSCSI protocol - use of SendTargets

 There are two types of Sessions
1) Discovery Session -- This session contains the key as SENDTarget. No IO
is allowed in this session.Only to get target Informaion
2) Normal Session : IO are allowed in FFP.

The reply of SendTarget contains

TargetName=<target-name-goes-here>

Followed by zero or more address keys of the form:

TargetAddress=<hostname-or-ipaddress>[:<tcp-port>],
<portal-group-tag>

The hostname-or-ipaddress contains a domain name, IPv4 address, or
IPv6 address, as specified for the TargetAddress key.

iSCSI target is identified by <hostname-or-ipaddress>[:<tcp-port>],
<portal-group-tag>. Tag is very IMP.
