RE: [openib-general] How do we prevent starvation say between TCP over IPOIB / and SRP traffic ?

Currently, all I have is problem to resolve. We will think about a general model.. For Oracle to support running RAC on a single fabric - assuming the fabric is utilized for both network (inter node cluster com) plus storage I/O - we need to limit /control latencies of cluster network msgs such

Some application level protocols - require higher QoS levels than others - for various communication and I/O operations. For example, cluster inter-node health msgs have fixed latency requirements that if exceeded may result in unexpected node removals from the cluster. Are there any
