RFC 5048: Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Corrections and Clarifications
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 7143.
Current document in this lineage: RFC 7143 — Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Protocol (Consolidated)
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
The Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) is a SCSI transport protocol and maps the SCSI architecture and command sets onto TCP/IP. RFC 3720 defines the iSCSI protocol. This document compiles the clarifications to the original protocol definition in RFC 3720 to serve as a companion document for the iSCSI implementers. This document updates RFC 3720 and the text in this document supersedes the text in RFC 3720 when the two differ. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
