We disagree on the philosophy here. I view ib_mad as multiplexing to QP0/1, dispatching responses, and implementing rmpp. I've tried to keep as much class specific information out of the mad layer as possible, and I'm resistant to changing that. We don't want the mad layer implementing a bunch of class specific data. Its not designed around providing that capability, nor do I think that it should be. Consider that there's nothing that prevents a user from using the ib_mad interface to send CM mads directly, or even allocating a UD QP, and sending MADs by simply posting sends. - Sean _______________________________________________ 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
