[ofa-general] peer to peer connections support

[Kanevsky, Arkady]

Yes.
The question is who issues it?
It can be done by the CM and not ULP.
Looking way back at VIPL there was a peer-to-peer model with the API
similar to the
one which Shane outlines.
Thanks,

		SO in a nutshell the proposal is to add some identifier
into "CM private data" which indicate that it is peer-to-peer model, and
unique peers IDs for the requested connection.
		Is this the model?
		


	For the time being, I try to understand if in the peer to peer
model both sides issue a listen before connecting or not. Without this
listen the peer-to-peer does not seems usable to me, what's your
understanding of the spec?
	
	Or.
