An address is not a hardware MAC header, we're only talking about the length of the latter. If the addressing is such that you need to put the GID into the ARP/NDISC packets, and that's different from what ends up in the final encapsulation header, I really don't see what the problem is specificially with respect to the MAC header size. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
