Viewing Spec 1.1 Trace Files: The InfiniBand Trade Association Specification,
version 1.1, released November 6, 2002 is fully supported in IBTracer v2.3 (SPEC
1.1). InfiniBand traffic recorded with IBTracer v2.3 may be opened with the previ-
ous release (see below), IBTracer v2.2. Packet level detail will display correctly in
IBTracer v2.2 (SPEC 1.0). However, Management Datagram (MAD) level traffic
will display using the InfiniBand Specification 1.0 standard. If the recording con-
tains InfiniBand (SPEC 1.1) traffic, some MAD level fields will appear incorrectly
formatted.
Viewing Spec 1.0 Trace Files: The InfiniBand Trade Association Specification,
version 1.0, (SPEC 1.0) is fully supported in IBTracer v2.2. InfiniBand traffic
recorded with IBTracer v2.2 may be opened with the newer version 2.3 release.
IBTracer v2.2. Packet level detail will display correctly in IBTracer v2.3 (SPEC
1.1). However, Management Datagram (MAD) level traffic will display using the
InfiniBand Specification 1.1 standard. If the recording contains InfiniBand (SPEC
1.0) traffic, some MAD level fields will appear incorrectly formatted.
The table below outlines the behavior for when viewing traces recorded with
IBTracer 2.2 and IBTracer 2.3 (SPEC 1.1):
Users that wish to record and view trace files that contain traffic conforming
to the original InfiniBand 1.0 specification and trace files that contain traffic
conforming to the new InfiniBand 1.1 Specification should keep both
IBTracer software version 2.2 and 2.3 installed on their system.
