Those ranges are always reserved, because the port protocol can change on runtime.

The QPs are reserved at the end of the QP table. --Yevgeny _______________________________________________ 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
