[openib-general] RMPP Middle Segments Payload Length

Hi Greg,

In addition to the question about whether the first packet Payload
Length only includes valid bytes in Transferred Data or all bytes in all
Transferred Data in all sent segments in the case of a
multipacket/segment send, there is also a question about the Payload
Length in middle segments/packets. It looks to me like there is just a
comment about the Payload Length being valid in first (optional) and
last (mandatory) segments/packets. So that means it is ignored on
receive but does it need to be set to 0 on transmit ? It seems possibly
different from a reserved field in those cases by language in the spec
but I'm not sure whether this is the case or not.

Thanks.
