Detailed Description

IPoIB peer address.

The IPoIB link-layer header is only four bytes long and so does not have sufficient room to store IPoIB MAC address(es). We therefore maintain a cache of MAC addresses identified by a single-byte key, and abuse the spare two bytes within the link-layer header to communicate these MAC addresses between the link-layer code and the netdevice driver.
