Comment # 8 on bug 10469 from 
Frame 26 in the 3rd capture is being rejected as not being an ISCSI frame
because the "expected data transfer length" field in the PDU is deemed to be
too large (> 16M).

There's a comment in the code which is doing a "validity test" of each
potential ISCSI PDU:

/* expected data transfer length is never >16MByte ? */

I'm not familiar with the details of ISCSI. 

Is this test obsolete ? (i.e. larger transfers are (now) allowed) ?

I expect that someone (you ?) with ISCSI knowledge can provide some insight as
to the (in)validity of this test and why it's in the code.
