I only was interested because I haven't had a closer look to the sources of the IB interface but I've seen (in inetdevice.h) that the struct in_device is also based on the net_device struct which is the base for the etherdevices... > also... > If you have (or create) an ethernet over IB driver, then > you could bind the existing TIPC stack to that. You must be a fortune teller. ;-) I've developed an Ethernet over Sockets driver which should also work with IB cards (I didn't test it). It's stable but the performance must be better for further usage and because of that I must redesign some things... > What's your intended use of TIPC/IB - just curious. I work at the Chair for Operating Systems at the University of Aachen (Germany) in a team which tries to run (for example) the Kerrighed SSI cluster project over other than the Ethernet network cards.
