Discovery of iSCSI communication on a switch.
Hi, I develop s/w for a switch. I would like to discover iSCSI sessions that pass through my switch. For this I feel that it is not enough to snoop on just TCP-SYN messages. According to me, TCP-SYN messages are sent during TCP- Session establishment. I feel that I should snoop on 0X03 iSCSI-LogIn messages. Can anybody confirm this please. Thanks, Sita. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group. To post to this group, send email to open-iscsi@googlegroups.com.

Is it going to be doing some sort of optimizations when it knows it is a iscsi connection? Just wondering. Other stuff would do the normal tcp syn ack stuff for connection creation so I think you have to look for the iscsi login messages and not just the tcp/ip connection ones. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.
