So, we've pinged ticket #972 several times to see if the issue it
covers has been fixed and have not really gotten a response in the
last few months. While talking with Jeff about a recent thread on
the users list about this issue he has found the code in
btl_tcp_proc.c that determines whether the tcp btl can be used has
changed significantly between 1.2 and 1.3. So a question is has
these changes changed the rules of whether connections between two
nodes should use the tcp btl as described on the FAQ? If so we
should update the FAQ.
For reference, the FAQ entry is here:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=tcp#tcp-routability
It looks like we now *always* assume that two TCP peers are routable.
The code in question is in btl_tcp_proc.c with the loop starting at
line 413.
