[ewg] Re: [Interop-wg] [RFP] support for iWARP requirement - active connect side MUST send first FPDU

[Bill Boas]

All involved with iWARP and OFED contribution and maintenance

Before the developer's session in Reno about iWARP, could you as a team
working together prepare a complete list of the iWARP technical issues that
confront everyone and the differences that you have with each other in the
current state of the implementation and diffrences you have about resolving
future isses you already have a sense of.

And publish that list before SC  with the options for resolutions that have
been pit forward so far. Arlin are you willing to take the lead on
accomplishing this?

Is that a reasonable request so we can all understand and help with the
resolutions, if possible?

Bill.
