James, I can identify enough IBTA members in this list In case the group is in agreement I believe it's a rather short process Since it's just some minor definition, and IBTA doesn't have much on its agenda these days. For example Hal added a feature to the SM (client re-register ..) in weeks Based on the OpenIB input We also don't have to wait for finalized spec to implement, just like we implement IPoIB without an IETF RFC (only a draft) By the way a quick path could be to define it in DAT and hand it over to IBTA, after all ATS is also not an IBTA standard Yaron _______________________________________________ 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
