Re: [Ips] Data Segment Padding

[<Black_David at emc.com>]

No, padding is not supported (e.g., breaks data digests).

 

RFC 3720 has this to say in Section 10.7.7 which strongly

recommends 4-byte alignment of data segment boundaries:

The Data Segments of Data-In and Data-Out PDUs SHOULD be filled to the integer number of 4 byte words (real payload) unless the F bit is set to 1.

Thanks,

Hi , is it possible to send the middle part of a sequence of DATA-OUT with data segment padding to 4 bytes boundary ? Many thanks.
