I apologize for dragging in this conversation in a different direction, but I'd be very interested to know why the behavior with the Playstation is different from other architectures. The PS3 box has a single gigabit ethernet and no exapansion ports, so I'd assume it's behavior would be no differen

By default only one socket per peer per physical network is opened. However, Open MPI has the possibility to open multiple socket per peer per network, based on some experiments with the Playstation (where having multiple socket allow for more bandwidth). The MCA parameter that allows such
