[Users] Need help finding documentation

I am an engineer/architect looking to try to leverage Infiniband for a
possible cloud deployment. I'm looking for documentation to help with the
following areas, but can't find much other than it is theoretically
possible with Infiniband or a similarly related academic study.


   1. Designing and implementing Infiniband fabrics with multiple subnets
   and routing between them. The idea is to make sure convergence of the
   subnet is always fast and create smaller fault domains.
   2. Can IPoIB leverage virtual lanes for traffic prioritization and how
   to do it? We would have a lot of legacy applications using IPoIB.
   3. How to implement Automatic Path Migration (APM) for IPoIB and RDMA
   and how to configure the subnet manager.
   4. Bridging SDN traffic (like VxLAN over IPoIB) between traditional
   Ethernet and IB to provide a seamless transition to IB.

Any documentation that you could point me to would be helpful.

Thanks,
Robert LeBlanc
