Description : The ibacm daemon helps reduce the load of managing path record lookups on
: large InfiniBand fabrics by providing a user space implementation of what
: is functionally similar to an ARP cache. The use of ibacm, when properly
: configured, can reduce the SA packet load of a large IB cluster from O(n^2)
: to O(n). The ibacm daemon is started and normally runs in the background,
: user applications need not know about this daemon as long as their app
: uses librdmacm to handle connection bring up/tear down. The librdmacm
: library knows how to talk directly to the ibacm daemon to retrieve data.
