[Users] Software IB switch/router

[Kevin J Moran]

There were some presentations that discussed IB Routing and the 
challenges/availability at the recent Open Fabrics Workshop in 
Monterey.  Here is a link to a site that has both the slides and the 
videos (some chose not to allow video) from the workshop 
http://insidehpc.com/2016-open-fabrics-workshop-video-gallery/

Regards,

Kevin
