Yes, I need only this header (and, of course, whatever this header has in its include directives). It has all the packets definitions with the right endian and with all the pack/unpack stuff. >> I'm checking this offline with Oracle IB people. >> >> Other question is do Oracle folks care about IB QoS and torus/mesh >> topologies w.r.t.

Can you send me this file, or do you have it under BSD license? The original file has dual GPL/BSD license, so I don't know if it's still open. Also, besides checking if compilation works (assuming that I get this file), I have no way checking if linkage also works... -- YK > --td >> -- YK
