>Todd Rimmer Then use SCTP instead of UDP, which already provides a loss-less reliable interface. If SCTP has problems with the number of endpoints it can currently support, why not just fix that problem and fix IpoIB to use a connected model to increase performance, rather than inventing a completly new protocol and/or address family. Just a thought. woody _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
