IMHO, it would be good to have a physical layer representation in the naming convention.

RoCE v2 is really Infiniband over UDP over IP. Why don't we just call it IBoUDP like it is? IBoUDP changes the Ethertype, replaces the network header, adds a new transport protocol header, and layers IB over that. This change should be exposed properly and not as just a new GID type. -- 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 This correspondence, and any attachments or files transmitted with this correspondence, contains information which may be confidential and privileged and is intended solely for the use of the addressee.
