Based on what you're saying, then a phased approach makes sense to me. >>>1. Use vendor specific MADs (which can be RMPP'd) and build on top of >>>this >>>2. Use IPoIB which is much more powerful as sockets can then be utilized. >> >>You could also use RC QP communication up/down the hierarchy. > > > Wouldn't that have the same issues as approach 1 (as compared with > approach 2) ? MAD overhead is significant. You would get less overhead plus RDMA capabilities, which could affect the implementation design. - Sean _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
