I think ipoib has used send-only joins for a while now. But the problem of never cleaning up these memberships stands. Thanks for looking at this -- it would be nice to deal with this. > An issue we found with this solution, is that it takes a while until the > neighbour is cleaned, and it requires that the host will send some traffic > (I supposed that unless we put more entries in the routing table, out > neighbour > will not be garbage collected). Would it work to have a more naive approach, and just keep track of the last time each send-only membership was used, and set up a timer that runs, say every minute, and garbage collect send-only memberships that are more than 2 minutes old, or something like that? - 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
