I agree that hop_limit of 1 restricts it from routing. How far along is a routable RoCE definition? Because underlying code behaves differently based on the hop_limit (changes the timeout and LID values), I'd like to see the hop_limit setting at least take into account whether the src/dst addresses are on different subnets, so that it can remain 1 when routing is not in use. - Sean -- 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
