[openib-general] how to choose appropriate ULPs for application

[王锡贵]

Hello！

    We plan to run lustre on InfiniBand. But now lustre does not support IB.
I know noting about the IB stack. So I think the IB Upper Layer Protocol(SDP, DAP) could be used to transport data for lustre. 
	But there are too many ULPs over IB. I know little about them. As far as I konw, iSER/SRP is for SCSI command transportation. So, it seems both SDP and uDAP are OK for my plan. I cant tell the difference between them. Which one is better, SDP or DAP? I don't konw how to choose?

	Any suggestion is appreciated!
