Except that if the OSC rdma component finds BTLs that don't support RDMA, it falls back to the AM interface. The pt2pt component is only used when there are no BTLs (such as when the CM PML is used). Which, by the way, is a case that OSHMEM should figure out how to deal with (if only by initializing the BML/BTLs) Brian -- Brian W.
