Yes this is better, I have no particular objections to these changes and appreciate your efforts to hold the line on the OFED 1.3 schedule. Thanks, Bob Tziporet Koren wrote: The main reason is not the bugs but the features supported by IBM - CM support for non SRQ and 4K MTU I see that

I would prefer not to see OFED 1.3 delayed for this. There will always be another bug, so you have to close the release and ship at some point. In the case of these particular bugs, IIRC, the first involved an older HCA that may not be widely used. The other UDP performance bugs do not have

One of the things driving the OFED 1.3 date is that OFED 1.3 has to be released before the Plugfest, which starts on March 10. I can deal with slipping OFED GA date to Feb 25, but I really don't think we should let it slip into March. How confident are the developers that, if they get the extra
