after reading the code, iiuc, sean's work provides nice infrastructure for ib_multicast group join/leave. i was thinking about one more level up, i.e. generic _net_ multicast join/leave infrastructure. i'm not sure exactly how it would go -- but i think all the ib net_devices are going to need a way to associate a multicast hw addr w/ a live mgid. if that could be broken out, we could all share it... arthur _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
