We already had some discussion of this in Tampa. Local SA caching is 
very valuable for applications that use the rdma_cm. We already
discussed 
and agreed to include it as one of the new features for OFED 1.2. 
We have already seen that it provides benefits for scaling connection
establishment using Intel MPI, which uses DAPL and rdma_cm. 
Once other MPI's decide to move their connection establishment model to
use rdma_cm
rather than the hack they are currently using, they will also need this
feature
for scalability. 
If more discussion is needed, we can certainly have it.
