IPoIB architecture is capable of having an IPoIB subnet span multiple IB
subnets. (You can obviously route between 2 IPoIB subnets or other IP
subnets as long as the IP routing is setup properly). However, IB
architecture for IB routers is currently incomplete.

A complete solution would support this.

Can you say what specific implementation components are being used here
?
