Hi Fabian,
 
We have talked about implementing ARP in ipoib in order to get the remote
gid. Attached is some information that you have asked:
 
1)     Doing arp from user mode. See the function SendARP in the MSDN.
2)     Getting locale IP addreses: see the function GetAdaptersAddresses.
Please note that this function can return a physical address in the size of
8, that we can use as a port gid. 
3)     The functions GetBestInterface and GetBestRoute can be used to select
the ip address to use for creating a connection (outgoing).
 
Do you have an estimation of the time that this change will be ready?
 
Thanks
Tzachi
