The target may try to finish the command with a "check condition" or some 
connection recovery before resorting  to the big hammer.

Re: [Ips] time-out for R2T PDUs?



There could be a situation in which NOP-IN PDUs from the target are
sent successfully to the initiator, but some bug causes the initiator
not to send the data-out PDU. According to what you say, the target
may decide that it can't wait anymore and logout, right?

Thanks,
Erez

&gt; I think that this s a target implementation issue wherein the implementation<br>
&gt; can choose the timeout &nbsp;depending on the availability of resources
&nbsp;and the<br>
&gt; software architecture. A target also has a NOP-IN sent periodically
and can<br>

&gt; I couldn't find an answer to the following question in iSCSI spec:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; During the execution of a WRITE command, an R2T PDU is sent from the<br>
&gt; target to the initiator. What should happen if a bug in the initiator<br>
&gt; causes it not to send the data-out PDU? Is there any timeout that
