What is the intention of the language
1. P_Key
A "Full Membership" P_Key (high-order bit is set to 1) MUST
be used so that all members may communicate with one
another.
in ietf-ipoib-ip-over-infiniband-09.txt? Let's say that a node has a
P_Key table programmed with P_Key 0x0001 (ie the full membership bit
is _not_ set). Is the intention that the node should not be able to
join an IPoIB link with that P_Key, or does the node just have to make
sure it joins the broadcast group corresponding to P_Key 0x8001 (with
the full membership bit set)?
Thanks,
Roland
