Sandeep,
The ST_IFR state machine notifies the application client of the receipt of 
a Transmission Complete (Command Failed, ACK/NAK Timeout) message by 
sending a Command Complete Received (Service Delivery or Target Failure - 
ACK/NAK Timeout) confirmation/argument. 
The ST_IFR state machine notifies the application client of the receipt of

This information is listed in table 138 Confirmations sent to the SCSI 
application layer if a frame transmission or reception error occurs from 
SAS-2 rev 4a.
Bye for now,

Re: queries Regarding Transport layer (part 2)
Hi George
Thanks for providing very clear explanation & confirming that Rules for
failure of data frame.
There is doubt on how ST_IFR will notify Application layer that NAK or
ACK/NAK timeout have occurred for the data frame. ie Handling of message
Transmission Complete (Data-Out Failed, NAK Received) or Transmission 
Complete (Data-Out Failed, ACK/ NAK Timeout) by ST_IFR machine.
Thanks once again.
