I would personally rather see a reserved bit get used. Imagine a system that has two protocols installed that use IP addressing. That system might want to have different apps listening on the same port number over both, even though the protocols are different.
I don't think that this maps well to TCP. Apps need to listen on different ports.
Having a reserved bit in the REQ indicate the presence of IP addressing information (including source and destination port numbers) in the private data seems most flexible to me.
How would a reserved bit help here? How does the CM know which app to give the request to?
My preference is to use the service ID, with a mapping that looks like: (OPENIB_OUI << 48) + port number because that makes my job easier. :) - Sean _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
