I think that Or is just exploring the idea of synchronously binding to a local *device* based on a remote address. This would allow an application to bind, then allocate PDs, CQs, QPs, etc. up front, rather than deferring resource allocation until address resolution completes. A ULP may be able to take advantage of this, but I can't personally say that I know what benefit it would provide. (Maybe avoid the need to keep track of everything that must be allocated once address resolution completes?) >When I think of bind(2), I only think of binding to local addresses. Yes - this is what rdma_bind_addr(src_addr) does. But I can envision adding a new call, rdma_bind_device(dst_addr), provided some use for it can be found. - 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
