Actually, they are. The IB specification section 4.1 says: "A GID is a valid 128-bit IPv6 address (per RFC 2373) with additional properties / restrictions defined...." and it makes sense to format an IB GID as an IPv6 address for display (that's what the IB spec does; eg it mentions the "Multicast GID FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1"). - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
