[openfabrics-ewg] Customer SDP requirements

[Matt Leininger]

 Some of these may be obvious, but here are some SDP requirements that
customers have come up with.  

 Here are some requirements for QoS and SDP that the DoE Labs and Wall
Street have set.

Support for service level to virtual lane mapping, partitioning,
automatic path migration, and multi-path routing:
The Offeror should describe the proposed strategy for designing and
implementing an OpenFabrics access layer that will expose service level
to virtual lane mapping, partitioning, automatic path migration, and
multi-path routing features.

High Performance SDP:
The offered OpenFabrics software stack should include Socket Direct
Protocol (SDP) protocols as defined in the InfiniBand specification
available at www.infinibandta.org. The delivered SDP implementation
should achieve 90% of aggregate link bandwidth with less than 25% of a
single CPU utilization. 


SDP transparent sockets support:
The offered SDP should use an optional socket offload modules for
transparent support for user and kernel sockets.
