String Profile for Internet Small Computer Systems Interface Names
RFC 3722, “String Profile for Internet Small Computer Systems Interface Names”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2004 by M. Bakke. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how to prepare internationalized iSCSI names to increase the likelihood that name input and comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world. The Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) protocol provides a way for hosts to access SCSI devices over an IP network. The iSCSI end-points, called initiators and targets, each have a globally-unique name that must be transcribable, as well as easily compared. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
