When we enable IB connected mode and increase MTU to 65520, we see the following in /var/log/messages

Feb 6 17:48:32 dadzab01 kernel: ib0: enabling connected mode will cause multicast packet drops Feb 6 17:48:32 dadzab01 kernel: ib0: mtu > 2044 will cause multicast packet drops. Feb 6 17:48:32 dadzab01 kernel: ib1: enabling connected mode will cause multicast packet drops Feb 6 17:48:32 dadzab01 kernel: ib1: mtu > 2044 will cause multicast packet drops.

Should we not be doing this? What kind of multicast packets will be dropped?

If we are not using multicast, do any OFED drivers (bonding, ipoib etc) internally use multicast in a way that will cause them to not work correctly in connected mode?

We are using OFED 1.3.1.
