Given this is an extension to Sockets, should it not also be reviewed by
the Sockets owners?<br><br>
What about the API itself? Any plans to make this portable to other
OS / endnodes or have a spec and associated wire protocol that is
reviewed perhaps in the IETF so it is applicable to more than just
Oracle? It seems this really should be standardized within the IETF
to gain broad adoption and insure it will be interoperable across all
implementations not just OpenFabric's.<br><br>

Failover within and across HCAs. APM does not work for failover across

For OpenFabric, one would need to have this work across RNIC as
well. APM is not part of iWARP so can't be relied upon.<br><br>

No, this does not affect core functionality. You should be able to

Oracle or crload without this feature.<br><br>

not just demo<br><br>

Pandit, Ranjit rpandit at silverstorm.com<br><br>
Following features are yet to be implemented in OpenFabric Rds:<br><br>
1. Failover<br>
2. Loopback connections<br>
3. support for /proc fs like Rds config,
stats and info.<br><br>
