The time has come to reflect feedback from implementation and usage into updated RFCs. See the initial draft list of work items below for details (expansion of this list during the BOF is a definite possibility). The purpose of the storm BOF is to determine whether a working group should be formed for maintenance and update of these storage-related protocols based primarily on implementation experience. This work is envisioned to encompass: - Implementation-driven revisions and updates to existing protocols (i.e., updated RFCs that match the "running code"). - Interoperability reports as needed for the resulting revised protocols that are appropriate for Draft Standard RFC status. - Minor protocol changes or additions; this is anticipated to include iSCSI features for SAM-4 compliance, some minor(Continue reading)
