[openib-general] Some ib_mad.h Redirection Comments

Hi,

I have some questions about the redirection support being proposed in
ib_mad.h:

Does ib_mad_qp_redir need to take a ib_mad_reg_req parameter or at least
a GS class ?

How is the redirection information in a GS agent's ClassPortInfo filled
in ? Is this part of what register and redirection (maybe a different
one from what is proposed) should handle ? The redirection can occur to
a remote QP, not just a QP on the local node.

In terms of a GS entity making requests (which have responses), if it is
redirected, will the retransmission to the redirected location occur
without consumer intervention ?

Thanks.
