Well, that's not what I would expect. Suppose I have a device configured with local addresses 192.168.11.12 and 192.168.98.99 and I start listening for some service at the address 192.168.11.12. I don't think I should see a connection request if a remote system tries to connect to 192.168.98.99 (even though it's the same network interface as 192.168.11.12). - R. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
