Per group - with a group identified by an MGID. The intent is to ensure that the state of the group is not driven in different directions in case MADs are processed out of order or are lost. So only a single MAD request can be outstanding per group. >Sorry for being dense but I'm wondering about the SA interactions. In >your example, what are the requests made of the SA ?

The second join request is for full member and send-only. The leave request is for full member. A final leave request would later be for send-only. (This is for this example only, the actual order of the requests depends on the users and their join states.) >Is it one request per group as you stated above or one request per group >per join state that can be active ? That's what was confusing me. One request per group outstanding at a time. A change in the join state will result in a second request, but will not be issued until the previous request completes. - 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
