[ofa-general] iWARP issues

[Kanevsky, Arkady]

Bill,
you had asked what are the iWARP open issues that need discussion at
SC'07 OFA dev. workshop.
I recall 4:
- iWARP Support for Peer-to-Peer Applications, this is CM
interoperability issue
- iWARP + TCP host stack port space sharing (required by IETF iSER
spec.)
- missing verbs (IB-only, iWARP-only, and iWARP-nonstandard),
 for example FMR, send with invalidate. (I recall that complete list was
flash out
 a year ago)
(ULP changes to take advantage of these verbs: e.g. NFS-RDMA, iSER).
- RDMA connection timeout; expand RDMA_CM API to support timeout
paramater (not iWARP specific)

Cheers,
