This seems like a very strained interpretation of the spec. For example, there's no explicit language in the IB spec that requires an HCA to use the destination LID passed via a modify QP operation, but I don't think anyone would seriously argue that an implementation that sent messages to some other random destination was compliant. In the same way, if I pass a limit for the number of outstanding RDMA/atomic operations in to a modify QP operation, I would expect the HCA to use that limit. - 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
