Yes, but that potential problem was already there. I suppose in the long run RDS should try to get IANA to give a reserved port (assuming that the RDS of ports 1540 and 1541 is a different RDS). > Not really much we can do about the general port space collision problem > unless and until the network stack guys are willing to cooperate though. While I agree it is a necessity, I don't think I want to be the one to start that fight again. Perhaps if/when RDS is merged with mainline. > - R. _______________________________________________ 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
