Initiators and targets communicate over TCP connections using iSCSI protocol data units (PDU). The
sending device can send a checksum with each PDU. The receiving device uses this checksum to verify
the integrity of the PDU, which is useful in unreliable network environments. There are two checksum
types, which can be enabled separately.
Checksum Type Description
Data Digest The checksum can be used to verify the data portion of the PDU.
Header Digest The checksum can be used to verify the header portion of the
PDU.
