The stateless aids also have certain limitations. Its a grey zone if you want to call them band aids. It gets there at some point because stateless offload can only get you so far. The need to send larger sized packets through the kernel increases the latency and forces the app to do larger batching. Its not very useful if you need to send small packets to a variety of receivers. -- 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
