Roland, I took your advice and sent a patch to bonding to fix the issue there to which I am waiting for comment) but I still think the patch for IPoIB is still needed. Without it, IPoIB is exposed to a DoS attack by a module (that looks like bonding but with malicious intentions) that sends IPoIB a garbage multicast address and stops it from joining any other group for ever, even if it is a legal group. What do you think? thanks _______________________________________________ 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
