What is the model on how client connects, say for iSCSI,
when client and server both support, iWARP and 10GbE or 1GbE,
and would like to setup "most" performant "connection" for ULP?
For the "most" performance connection, the ULP would use IB, and all these
problems go away. :)
This proposal is for each iwarp interface to have its own IP address. Clients
would need an iwarp usable address of the server and would connect using
rdma_connect(). If that call (or rdma_resolve_addr/route) fails, the client
could try connecting using sockets, aoi, or some other interface. I don't see
that Steve's proposal changes anything from the client's perspective.
