Given SDP is an existing standard and implemented on a variety of platforms, it would be best to not modify SDP in order to insure interoperability. Hence, the new annex should only apply to ULP that do not already communicate the IP address, etc. as part of the CM exchange on IB and as part of the SDP port mapper on iWARP (the port mapper enables completely transparent SDP usage underneath an application with no source code changes required).
From an implementation viewpoint, my plan is to make the CMA aware of both the proposed private data format, as well as SDP's format. This should eliminate most of the duplicated functionality found in the CMA and SDP implementation, without requiring changes to SDP.
