ah ok.

I guess I need to look at the code if I want to understand what "ethernet emulation" and "simple net device driver" exactly mean. You missed the netdev and netfilter guys ranting when Infiniband promoters proprosed putting a switch in the kernel to bypass the TCP/IP stack when SDP was available. This happened at OLS2004 Infiniband BOF. Very strong opposition to SDP masquerading as AF_INET. SDP is squatting on AT_INET_SDP (27) until it gets integrated in the kernel. hth, grant _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
