Not if the host connects two disjoint networks and does not route between them. Such a host should/may be configured to reject any packet that arrives with a destination address that does not match the expected destination address for the port it arrives upon.
One of the things that iWARP vendors strive for is to ensure that all such existing filtring/safety rules on accepting connections are left 100% intact. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christoph Hellwig Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 2:00 PM To: Caitlin Bestler Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [openib-general] RDMA connection and address translation API On Wed, Aug 24, 2005 at 11:14:08AM -0700, Caitlin Bestler wrote: > The concensus when this issue was debated in the DAT Collaborative was > that there was no transport neutral way to specify a set of addresses > to listen on other than "all addresses supported by this device". That doesn't make any sense at all for iWarp as that uses IP addressing which in Linux is host-, not device-based. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
