NOTE:
Make sure that your host network interface is configured. Refer to the User Manual of your
host for specific instructions. If using an HCA, refer to the OFED User Manual.
3. The SA answers PKey path queries by looking for a common PKey between the two
end nodes.
4. IPoIB is used to create multiple IP domains, one for each partition, providing
name/address resolution. Each IPoIB instance uses a separate QP (Queue Pair)
associated with a separate PKey partition.
5. Each Multicast group is associated with a partition. In the case of IPoIB, there is a
well-known MGID - PKey mapping.
