Roland, The TCP/IP stack module is an additional piece of software that we obtained under a BSD license. Since the OFA license is dual, we cannot submit it. John Hagerman reported this to the OFA board in September and it was agreed upon then. There is nothing wrong with the current Linux TCP stack and, in fact, we are working towards the goal of using as much functionality from it as we reasonably can. The bottom line is that we understand there is little hope of merging a second stack and are working that issue.

What is the TCP/IP stack module?? What's wrong with the TCP stack we already have in the kernel? I think I can say pretty definitely that a second TCP stack has no hope of ever being merged. - R. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
