[Rdma-developers] Re: [openib-general] OpenIB and OpenRDMA: Convergence on common RDMA APIs and ULPs for Linux

[Caitlin Bestler]

	With respect to the kernel based TCP stack, what is not needed
is 
	a hack into the stack and scatter/gather state information of
the live 
	TCP connection between kernel and RNIC, but to find one clean
interface 
	to transfer state information out of that stack and to the RNIC.

	
	 

Agreed that is an OS-specific service that should not be implemented in
a device dependent way by each hardware vendor. But the information
extracted from the kernel IP stack cannot be encoded as though it
came from an InfiniBand CM.
