<p>Hello,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have been working on a project to get some performance numbers for libfabric when run with Java bindings and have gotten to a point where I need to understand how the different end points are related, and what functionality they share. I am primarily
interested in plain endpoints, and passive endpoints.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>From what I can tell from fi_endpoint.h and fi_cm.h, fid_pep and fid_ep share the method groups fi_ops_ep and fi_ops_cm. It appears that in those methods, if fid_t is used, any endpoint can be used and if fid_pep is used, a passive endpoint must be used.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If fid_ep is used, could a passive endpoint use it, or does it have to be a normal endpoint? </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Ive also noticed in methods like rx_ctx there are variables such as: fid_ep *sep. Does this indicate only a scalable endpoint should be used?<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for any clarifications!<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>-Nathan<br>
