How much complexity is added to the CM to support this ? Do we really need to (and if so what is the application which requires this) ? > As you say, separating the CM path from the connection path does raise > the question of what to do for failover and APM.

I'm not sure I get the "connection" between the CM path and data path. Doesn't failover and APM apply only to the data path ? Is it purely the detected of a failed path between CMs (which seems orthogonal to this to me) ? That's not to say that this is not an issue. -- Hal _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
