Cisco Systems MDS 9000 Two-Way Radio User Manual


 
These two features help reduce I/O time for small write commands because it removes one round-trip
between the initiator and the target for the R2T PDU. As an iSCSI target, the MDS switch allows up to
64 KB of unsolicited data per command. This is controlled by the FirstBurstLength parameter during
iSCSI login negotiation phase.
If an iSCSI initiator supports immediate data and unsolicited data features, these features are
automatically enabled on the MDS switch with no configuration required.
