Abstract

   This document provides examples of the Internet Small Computer
   Systems Interface (iSCSI; or SCSI over TCP) name construction and
   discussion of discovery of iSCSI resources (targets) by iSCSI
   initiators.  This document complements the iSCSI protocol document.
   Flexibility is the key guiding principle behind this document.  That
   is, an effort has been made to satisfy the needs of both small
   isolated environments, as well as large environments requiring
   secure/scalable solutions.
