Yup, that's one of the bigger questions, can it abstract away the differences between two different RDMA technologies? Having a RDMA ethernet and IB providers for kDAPL is insufficient, one would need to show an actual, non-trivial, protocol that works ontop of either provider with no, or little, modification/ifdef'ing. -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
