Hi, In the IP encapsulation draft , section 6.1.2, it is indicated that the Q_Key used should be that of the broadcast-GID. Which broadcast GID should be used? Specifically, if the IPv4 and IPv6 broadcast GIDs are assigned different Q_keys, which Q_Key should be used? The issue with potentially allowing different Q_Key values for the 2 GIDs is that 2 separate QPs will have to be allocated for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic respectively and will require the IPoIB driver to keep track of upper layer protocols. If everyone agrees that this is a problem, there are 2 ways to address the issue: 1) Require the 2 broadcast GIDs to have the same attributes such as Q_key, MTU etc. or 2) Create a single broadcast GID to define the link. -Vandana
