last call before interop is resolved?

 

I am very concerned that the current path we're on is to try to do last
call before we close on the interop issues with the RDMA Consortium
protocols. To me this would be a mistake because it effectively
fragments the market when in fact we have a very concrete interop
proposal on the table that appears to be holding water, which has very
specific text change recommendations that appear to be straightforward
to put into the specs.

 

Can we quickly get through the interop changes to MPA/DDP/RDMAP? Seems
like the only outstanding issue raised so far is what is the exact text
used in the RDMAP/DDP specs on what is a "valid" version number (i.e. do
we leave it up to the vendor, or do we state something more explicit).
That seems like a pretty small outstanding issue? 

 

Further, it seems like we should be able to get out updated drafts
within a few days which incorporate the recommendations, and the
recommendations do not have significant complexity to implement in the
normative body of the specs (unlike the outstanding issue of normative
statements in the security chapters of DDP/RDMAP (!!).
