Hi Tziporet,

I was on vacation, therefore couldn't attend this meeting, and I want to
update about Voltaire's plans for OFED 1.3.1.
We are working on bug fixes for Bonding and HA , minimal impact on traffic,
multicast and partitioning  during SM failover.

Also it is very important for us that IPoIB 2 kernel panics will be fixed (
https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=989,
https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=985)

Best Regards,
Olga
