The SDP module itself provides no transparency, it is implemented as a seperate protocol family. I can provide a userspace LD_PRELOAD library for configurable limited transparency. However, I think the best longer term solution is a kernel level socket switch, which it would be nice to have independent of the protocol modules themselves. There are a some people here who have some good ideas and experience in this. The other option to explore is the SDP port mapper protocol from the RDMAC. -Libor _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
