Yes, that's pretty easy.

I wouldn't bother for the "#define AF_INET AF_INET_SDP" above.
If the AIO version is more complicated, maybe create an "examples"
directory under gen2/src/userspace?

Ah! *click* ib_ipoib is missing!

For whatever reason I didn't realize ib_sdp only adds the alternative
net family. Yes, I did notice the "NET: Registered protocol family 27"
when loading ib_sdp.

I had associated ip_ipoib with providing TCP/IP but of course it does NOT.
ipoib *uses* the existing stack for AF_INET. Doh!
Feeling a little slow these days...

sorry...my bad. usespace part of my local tree was quite stale. 
"svn up" fixed that. Thanks for patiently pointing out the obvious.

More fodder for "examples" someplace in gen2 tree?
Or perhaps links to the right projects (e.g netperf.org) in
a userspace/examples/README file?
Or maybe more obvious here -> http://www.openib.org/doc.html ?


I just stumbled across links to http://www.web-polygraph.org/ again.
That's not something I use every day... Pointers to different
tests that are relevant to evaluating IB are helpful. If someone
starts it, I'll contribute to the list.

thanks,
