Anything preventnig such a gateway from routing SDP to ethernet? Those gateways obviously will grok IB protocols. I'm asking becuase I don't understand/know if there is a real barrier to an IB -> ethernet gateway _without_ IPoIB. thanks, 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
