Technical Summary
The iSCSI protocol provides a way for hosts to access SCSI devices
over an IP network. The iSCSI end-points each have a globally-unique
name that must be transcribable, as well as easily compared.
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.
It is a profile for iSCSI of RFC 3454, Stringprep.
Working Group Summary
