Hello,

I'm with the Network-Based Computing Lab at Ohio State University.  Our
lab primarily does research with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) over
interconnects like InfiniBand and RDMA.  Recently we have started
evaluating/testing Qpid with the TCP adaptations to InfiniBand (Sockets
Direct Protocol [SDP] and IP over InfiniBand [IPoIB]).

We would like to know more about where the Qpid project plans to go with
RDMA.  Could anyone give me a brief overview and anticipated timeline of
the planned functionality?  I've noticed some RDMA-related code submissions to 
the C++ trunk
this month by Andrew Stitcher.  I've been able to run the C++ broker
listening for RDMA via the RdmaIOPlugin class (at least according to the
broker log).  However, how does the client side work?  Does the
RdmaConnector class integrate with the client's Connection class?  Also in
src/tests I've noticed that "rdma" is an option for the ConnectionOptions
class.  How will this class fit into the scheme of things?

Thanks in advance for any info,
