It's consistent with what the IB spec says (IBA 1.2 vol 1 p.948) as to how these quantities are counted. They are defined to be octets divided by 4 so the choice is to display them the same as the actual quantity (which is why they are named Data rather than Octets) or to multiply by 4 for Octets. The former choice was made. -- Hal > _______________________________________________ > general mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general > > To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
