hello,

 i'm using openib stack as fast low latency transport
between two machines viz. A & B using ib_cm apis for
connection management with single-port hca.

i have following questions/queries:

 o to make multiple connections using ib_send_cm_req()
   i would have make connection requests using
   ib_send_cm_req() with different service id. is this
   sufficient, or i missed something? i can use the
   same port number, correct?

 o machine A is connected to machine B using ib_cm's
   request, response, ready to use protocol (machine A
   initiates the connection request). the question i
   have: for machine B to send message to machine A,
   is it sufficient for machine B to do a lookup using
   ib_sa_path_rec_get(), and then do ib_post_send()?
   if no, then what else needs to be done?


thanks,
Amit.
