Project 2123 - Information technology - SCSI Stream Commands (SSC-4)

The SCSI Stream Commands - 4 standard will be based on the SCSI Stream Commands - 3 standard that provides
the model and command sets for the sequential-access device type. The model and command sets may be implemented on multiple transport protocols. The following items should be considered for inclusion into SSC-4:

1)continuation and enhancement of the sequential-access device type model;

2)continuation and enhancement of the explicit address command set;

3)continuation and enhancement of the implicit address command set;

4)continuation of TapeAlert standardization;

5)addition of a data protection model; and

6)other capabilities that may fit within the general application scope of this project.
