There was some discussion a while ago about an "IB address

encapsulate some of this. However, we didn't make much progress
towards a good API design, and the discussion fizzled out.
IBAT is currently being used in conjunction with kdapl. There is further
work to incorporate ATS (service records) going on currently as well.
Perhaps it is time to restart the IBAT API discussion as to what needs
to change to make it acceptable for the mainstream.
The IBAT API provides the two key services needed by kDAPL: the
ability to obtain a route based on an IP address and the ability to
map a GID to an IP address.
Is there agreement that an IB address translation service must provide
these two services?
If we have the requirements down, we can concentrate on the
implementation.
