I think iWARP can be on top of TCP or SCTP. But why wouldn't it care ? Doesn't a routing decision still need to be made at the IP layer ? Doesn't the IP next hop need to be determined (e.g. gateway when the destination is off the local IP subnet) ? Is there something that precludes iWARP from working across IP subnets ? -- Hal _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
