Following our discussion both in mailing list [1] and at the LPC 2016 [2],
we would like to propose this RDMA tool to be part of iproute2 package
and finally improve this situation.

Although I really appreciate your work: can you clarify why you would like to
add *RDMA* functionality to an *IP routing* tool? I haven't found any motivation
for adding RDMA functionality to iproute2 in [1].

Bart, please realize that iproute2 is much more than "*IP routing* tool".
I understand you got confused by the name. Please see sources. Your comment
is totally pointless...

I asked for a clarification that should have been in the cover letter but that
was missing from that cover letter. So I think that was the right thing to do
instead of pointless. BTW, can you explain why you are using an e-mail address
that is hiding that you are a Mellanox employee?

For the same reason as I do. It is much easier to use outside servers
than Mellanox's IT infrastructure.

Right now, I'm speaking for myself, but for me, to properly answer with @mellanox.com,
I need to use very specific mail setup, while for any other addresses I can and use any
sane setup, including mobile application.

Bart.
