Thanks, Pete.

That's kind of the impression I was forming - nothing public for IB,
everything under the covers. Kind of silly, in the long run.

As for the SCSI - thanks, at least I know I won't be breaking any rules
(since there aren't any... ;->)

Everybody loves a clown, but nobody will lend him money.

Laugh, sadly.

Nobody does IB in the open, because hardware is not generally
available. Adapter manufacturers roll their proprietary stacks.
I work in a Trillian style effort (e.g. definitely to be opensourced
at a later date) - contact johnsonm at redhat if you are interested
in joining.

No SRP implementations exist that I know of, prorotypes may
be out there, coming from storage startups. AFAIK, Intel is
using a packetised SCSI mapping, at least Ashok Raj made
noises about it on IDF.
