iWARP branch need time for connection management issues and a few
others.
There is impact on interoperability.

Subject: [ofa-general] Re: to be discussed at the developer conference
At the highest level I think this developer summit is
suffering from a lack of a clear goal. (The same could be
said about the OpenFabrics alliance as a whole, but let's not
get into that...) I'm supposed to give a talk about the
basics of kernel development and I'm happy to do so, but that
implies a certain target audience that is pretty disjoint
from the developers who are leading development.
In general the most valuable use of face-to-face time with
code developers is to settle issues where email discussion
has gotten stuck. If most people are not already familiar
with the issue then it is very difficult to be productive.
So with that said:
1) the long time and endless threads related to the SA
caching thing need to be there. Sean - I saw that you
prepare a session, correct?
will you presenting few possible designs?
This is the perfect type of thing to try and settle.
2) as for IPoIB stateless offload - with Eli and Liran not
planned to be there. Dror - do you intend to actually
present the actual ipoib / core / drivers related design
and implementation?
Given that there really hasn't even been an attempt to
discuss this on the mailing list, I'm not convinced it's
worth trying to rush through explaining it. I didn't think
the patches were particularly hard to understand.
4) IPoIB connected mode UC support - Roland, can work on
this start once the no-SRQ design/code is agreed and
committed to a branch at your git?
Is there a spec for attaching UC QPs to SRQs? Other than
that I think it's just a matter of someone caring enough to
start working on it.
5) IB 4K MTU - in IPoIB and elsewhere in the IB stack,
same here, Roland, do you think a short session is needed
No -- I don't know of any issues that need face-to-face discussion.
6) the netdev network batching RFCs - Krishna, Shirley,
will someone from IBM can prepare a session to educate us
on the matter and the status?
Why do we need to spend face-to-face time on this?
- R.
