+to discover the features offered by the Virtio-oF device instance.
+After feature negotiation, the Virtio-oF initiator also issues a
+\nameref{sec:Virtio Transport Options / Virtio Over Fabrics / Commands Definition / Opcodes / Set Feature Command}
+to finalize features.
+\item The Virtio-oF initiator issues a
