Thanks for clarifying it. Now, I can see that openSM supports four different algorithms(Min-hop being the default). Depending on the physical network topology whether the openSM decides the routing policy on its own or one has to configure openSM's routing algorithm before starting it. Is there any document describing which algorithm should be used when? And is there document describing the current openSM routing algorithms in detail ? regards, Mahesh. _______________________________________________ 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
