For iWarp, or any other RDMA over Ethernet protocol, the behavior is not to guarantee all packets are written in-order, just that the last byte of the last packet is written last. This can easily be implemented in an iWarp card or by the driver with minimal performance impact in most cases. So for example, if the last packet arrives before all the other packets have arrived, the iWarp card or driver does not place that data of the last packet until all the other packets have arrived. woody _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
