In IB and rocev1 the sgid index is not ambiguous, rocev2 breaks that requirement without adaquately fixing it. It is probably also the case that rocev1 has similar problems, depending on how vland and macvlan ended up being implemented. > Now, when same gid value can be present in multiple entries you need > an extra parameter to get distinguish between them - that would be > the netwrok_type Eh? You are only worried about duplicates between rocev1 mode which uses the GUID and v2 mode which uses the host's IP address? What about duplicates entirely within v2 mode where vlan and macvlan can create duplicate host IP addresses. You can also just not create duplicate entries in the first place. For instance there probably isn't a really a good reason to use rocev2 for IPv6 link local addreses, that trivially eliminates the v1/v2 collision.
