In any event, I think being able to plop an IB network in an Ethernet
world will require things like RARP to work.  If there is no spec now,
it should be written.
     

I can't remember the last time I saw a machine RARP. Well, maybe I do
but it was like 1980-something. Since DHCP, I don't think there's a
reason for hosts to do it.
   

I guess Sun is stuck in the 80's -- big hair and new age music.  All the
sparc openboot systems rarp/bootp to network start.
 

And DHCP, too.
