After some googling around, I wonder if perhaps what I'm thinking of was
an I/O forwarding layer that I understood was being developed for x86_64
type machines rather than some type of GPFS protocol router or proxy.

Hi Everyone,
A while back I seem to recall hearing about a mechanism being developed
that would function similarly to Lustre's LNET routers and effectively
allow a single set of NSD servers to talk to multiple RDMA fabrics
without requiring the NSD servers to have infiniband interfaces on each
RDMA fabric. Rather, one would have a set of GPFS gateway nodes on each
fabric that would in effect proxy the RDMA requests to the NSD server.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Just curious if it's still on
the roadmap.
