Fw: [openib-general] How about ib_send_page() ?

[Vivek Kashyap]

An implementation can work with the current draft. The delta to an 
implementation over an existing IPoIB-UD is not much. That should also 
help uncover or clarify any hidden issues not well covered in the draft.

I've received a few comments - more on details - that I'll incorporate in the
next version of the draft. Aiming to post it by the next IETF cut off. 

With IPoIB-connected mode, existing applications can utilise a higher MTU (the
MTU/buffer allocations are negotiable) among connected mode nodes while 
continuing to interoperate with IPoIB over UD implementations.

To be an RFC, we will need another round of review on ietf mailing list. One 
aspect that will help is a look into the interaction with TCP (see section 6.1
in draft-ietf-ipoib-connected-mode-00.txt).
