To my understanding IB private data fields are IB CM specific So embedding src/dst IP in it doesn't change the ULP and could be considered as part of the IB CM You can look at the private data in that case as a replacement to the TCP CM (Syn/SynAck exchange), and Syn packet includes IPs & Ports Yaron _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
