Hi Or,
The code present in the OFED-1.3 (ofed_1_3/linux-2.6.git ofed_kernel)
includes the same code as OFED-1.2.5.2 (ofed_1_2/linux-2.6.git ofed_1_2_c)
(except few patches that will be added to the OFED-1.3 in the next few days)
and RDMA extensions. This additional RDMA feature can be disabled (not done yet)
by a module parameter and then RDS v3 from OFED-1.3 will operate as RDS v.2 from OFED-1.2.5.2.

Regards,
Vladimir
