| 16 | This option enables experimental support for IPoIB connected mode. |
| 17 | After enabling this option, you need to switch to connected mode through |
| 18 | /sys/class/net/ibXXX/mode to actually create connections, and then increase |
| 19 | the interface MTU with e.g. ifconfig ib0 mtu 65520. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | WARNING: Enabling connected mode will trigger some |
| 22 | packet drops for multicast and UD mode traffic from this interface, |
| 23 | unless you limit mtu for these destinations to 2044. |
