[openib-general] Re: FW: summary of my understanding on our common work on openib.org

[Grant Grundler]

Offline, I exchange email with Roland about this attribute.
Seems like we want to know the answer to these questions:

o is there any code outside of openib.org using this attribute?
o if so, how useful is it?

Roland is certain none of the protocols in the proprietary Topspin stack
uses this feature.

The reasons roland gave all seemed valid for removal except the fact
the product has been shipping for a while and thus it's available to
users regardless of if mellanox supports it or not.
It's reasonable to remove if no one can show a use case.
