What I what to understand is _why_ it must be unique? The CMA-IB port spaces are separate from the native stack. And the CMA-IB has no issues connecting or routing data among multiple connections all having the same 4-tuple. - 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
