I agree there is probably a larger issue here and yes this is somewhat specific but where as OB1 appears to have multiple protocols depending on the capabilities of the BTLs I would not characterize as an IB centric problem. Maybe OB1 RDMA problem. There is a clear benefit from modifying this specific case. Do you think its not worth making incremental improvements while also attacking a potential bigger issue?

Don,

This seems a very IB centric problem (and solution) going up in the PML. Moreover, I noticed that independent on the BTL we have some problems with the multi-rail performance. As an example on a cluster with 3 GB cards we get the same performance is I enable 2 or 3. Didn't had time to look into the details, but this might be a more general problem.

I intend to make the change suggested in this ticket to the trunk. The change does not impact single rail, tested with openib btl, case and does improve dual rail case. Since it does involve performance and I am adding a OB1 mca parameter just wanted to check if anyone was interested or had an issue with it before I committed the change.
