The proper action is to propose a new MPA specification to the IETF - it
isn't an OFA decision to make. MPA within the IETF was a tough fight to
get into existence. This particular issue was raised and the outcome
from that debate is what is in the 1.0 specification (it is a standard
if I recall not a draft).
As far as I can see on the IETF site, the MPA, DDP, and RDMAP docs are
all expired Internet Drafts. Can you point me to the RFCs?
Fine to argue here but action and
specification work must be brought up in the IETF RDDP workgroup and
likely to be vetted as well by the TSVWG and Transport AD (both weighed
in quite a bit during MPA's creation).
If the IETF approves a new draft, then OFA can develop the associated
software. But there may be multiple software stacks to deal with legacy
hardware / drivers so the problem isn't just fixed by providing a new
MPA specification. People are using iWARP today that is compliant with
today's MPA specification.
Yup.
