That's right - by implementing IP segmentation in the IPoIB driver when going over UD, the driver could expose a single MTU to the network stack, thereby removing all the issues related to having per-endpoint MTUs. Keeping a 2K MTU for RC mode doesn't really take advantage of IB's RC capabilities. I'd probably target 64K as the MTU. - Fab _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
