And even once we have concensus to do it, we then need to reach concensus on issues such as connect-on-chip-with-host-approval and/or connect-on-host-then-transfer to work through. For example, I think the host stack should support either, leaving the tradeoffs between NIC and host processing to be resolved in the marketplace. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
