I haven't found any motivation > for adding RDMA functionality to iproute2 in [1]. We are planning to reuse the same infrastructure provided by iproute2, like netlink parsing, access to distributions, same CLI and same standards. Right now, RDMA is already tightened to netdev: iWARP, RoCE, IPoIB, HFI-VNIC. Many drivers (mlx, qed, i40, cxgb) are sharing code between net and RDMA. I do expect that iproute2 will be installed on every machine with any type of connection, including IB and OPA. So I think that it is enough to be part of that suite and don't invent our own for one specific tool.
