With openmpi-1.2.0

i ran a:  ompi_info --param btl tcp

and i see reference to:

MCA btl: parameter "btl_tcp_min_rdma_size" (current value: "131072")
MCA btl: parameter "btl_tcp_max_rdma_size" (current value: "2147483647")

Can TCP support RDMA? I thought you needed fancy hardware to get such support? Light on this subject is highly appreciated.

Also if a user using ethernet, is trying to up the limit for 'greedy' messages that the btl_tcp_eager_limit? Is there a problem increasing its size? We will test it with his app of-course, but was wondering if there was a 'gotcha' I was going to walk into.
Thanks
