[iSNS-discussion] Open iSNS client library - More generic

[<sun...@wi...>]

What is the scope of developing a generic library for iSNS client
support?=20
=20
The main goal of this ISNSC library is to facilitate any target or
initiator to use the iSNS client support. This abstracts the iSNS client
functionality to the initiator/target and only gives the
initiator/target what they want. For example, the initiator can call an
API in the proposed library, and get the details of the target.
Similarly, the target also can call an API, and can impose the Login
control method of RFC. =20

The library takes care of talking to ISNS server, and responding to
ESI/SCN messages. Callback function support in the library helps the
initiator/target to handle these asynchronous messages like ESI/SCN.
This way, iSNS client code would be generic irrespective of the vendor
for initiator or target. =20
=20
Mostly this proposed library would be reusing the published iSNS client
code. But, This helps in making an initiator/target to support iSNS with
much simpler effort by using the library. =20

Any review comments on this?
