To say nothing of the fact that there must be a RARPD, administered and secured on each subnet. Aren't there enough daemons needed to support this stuff as it is? The advantage of ATS is that it "just works" whether wired point to point, or via a switch, or whatever. It requires no central administration, works as transparently as ARP and ND, and supports IP addressing so applications don't have any ambiguity in how they resolve names. If we get rid of ATS, what do we replace it with? Raw IB GID's from the application??
