[swg] RE: [openib-general] socket based connectionmodel for IB proposal -round 4

[Ted H. Kim]

Arkady,

I know we originally set out to compress everything down to
the minimum to preserve as much ULP specific private data as
possible. But it seems to me in the current proposal we have
reserved space now which could be used to re-expand the
version to major 4-bits and minor-4 bits without harming
anything else.

Can we entertain that as an option?
My rationale is to err on the side of perhaps a little
too much version room than too little. This will put it
in line with the precedent of SDP.
