GRH Validation on Incoming Packets<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a question about whether any GRH
validation is done on incoming GSI packets which contain GRHs. If so, is the
IP version field validated or does that need to be done by the MAD layer or
clients (like PMA) ?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
