Steve> Roland, can you expand on this some?
I don't think transport neutral code should be dealing with either
P_Keys or VLANs. The Linux model for handling VLANs is that each VLAN
has a separate network interface. So an iWARP consumer should never
deal with VLANs, just with a routing choice of interfaces.
Similarly if a consumer is using the iWARP-emulation CM for IB, then
the P_Key will come from the IPoIB interface. Only native IB
consumers that understand partitions ever have to deal with P_Keys.
