Hi Eli,

Thanks for the feedback, the 814 MB/s number is quite impressive.

Dror/Eitan -

The question here is that on what scenario this code would in use when 
taking into account that the connected mode is now available and can 
provide ever higher throughput. My thinking was that this --can-- 
helpful when there is UDP multicast traffic of big packets, but Eli says 
you don't support it (UDP UFO)

Again, I would be happy to get from Mellanox pointer to document which 
is not under NDA and describes the feature (eg Marketing stuff)

Or.
