Abstract
InfiniBand is an emerging technology both for communication between processing nodes and I/O devices, and for interprocessor communication. After the occurrence of a topology change, InfiniBand management entities collect the current topology, compute new forwarding tables, and upload them to routing devices. Traditional distribution techniques prevent deadlock but, at the same time, they affect negatively user traffic. In this paper, we propose two alternative deadlock-free mechanisms to distribute forwarding tables. These proposals adhere InfiniBand specification, can be easily implemented, and reduce significantly the impact of the distribution process. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
