<DIV></DIV>All involved with iWARP and OFED contribution and
maintenance<BR><BR>Before the developer's session in Reno about iWARP, could
you as a team working together prepare a complete list of the iWARP technical
issues that confront everyone and the differences that you have with each
other in the current state of the implementation and diffrences you have about
resolving future isses you already have a sense of. <BR><BR>And publish that
list before SC with the options for resolutions that have been pit
forward so far. Arlin are you willing to take the lead on accomplishing
this?<BR><BR>Is that a reasonable request so we can all understand and help
with the resolutions, if possible? <BR><BR>Bill.<BR><BR>

has been much discussion on a private thread regarding bug #735
-<BR>"dapltest performance tests don't adhere to iWARP standard" that
needs<BR>to move to the general list.<BR><BR>iWARP, has a requirement that
the active side of the connection MUST be <BR>the first to send the first
FPDU (SEND or RDMA operation). This presents<BR>a problem with applications
written for uDAPL and OFA verbs given that<BR>there is no such restriction.
So, short of requiring every OFA<BR>application/ULP to adhere to this
restriction, we need the iWARP vendors <BR>to come up with a standard method
to remove the restriction.<BR><BR>Can someone come up with a solution,
possibly in iWARP CM, that will<BR>work and insure interoperability between
