I agree. In theory iWARP is layered over L4 (TCP/SCTP) which is layered of IP, which is over Ethernet. Once you have that many theoretical layers you end up with a distinct probability that the iWARP code simply does not have access to VLAN info. Every iWARP RNIC I know of is also a general purpose Ethernet NIC. The VLAN functionality serves both purposes and is not controlled/managed through RDMA-specific interfaces. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
