IETF61 IPoIB meeting minutes:
Agenda - 1. Drafts update by Vivek Kashyap The encapsulation draft has gone through IESG review and received numerous comments. The revision has been made and awaiting IESG review. Jerry Chu asked for clarification from Thomas Narten on the "IANA consideration" for the "reserved flags" field of the link-layer address. Some discussion continued on the wording about the configuration of the IPoIB links. The room concensus was that this is best left to the admistrative control, and the draft will RECOMMEND so. The connected mode draft has undergone some review. Jerry made two suggestions. One is to make the per-connection MTU a "receive MTU". This will remove all the complexity of ensuring both endpoints agreeing upon a single MTU. The second was to fold the current "fully-connected overlay subnet" into the default IPoIB UD subnet, allowing each node pair to simply negotiate an optional IB connection between themselves separately, since there won't a single, nice link MTU anyway due to multicast. Vivek countered with some pros and cons on the latter. Some discussion ensued on the managemnet of the IB connections and how to allow multiple connections to be used and the mapping between multiple IP addresses (multi-homing) and multiple IB connections per node pair. There was some question/comment on the new "shared receive queue" feature in IBA 1.2 (?) 2. MIB drafts update by Bill Strahm (on behalf of Sean Harnedy) The drafts are updated. Bill owns reviewing them for new boilerplate and submitting them to the MIB doctor and IESG. 3. Solaris IPoIB implementation report by Bill Strahm (on behalf of Kanoj Sarcar) See slides. One major area of difficulties has been the multicast related event traps, given the unreliable nature of the latter. Bill Asked for more implementation reports from other OSes. Voltair confirmed IPoIB interoperability with Solaris. 4. The advisor AD (Margaret Wasserman) commented on the next step for moving the encapsulation draft through the IESG again. Meeting adjourned. |
