I seem to remember that it used to work even with 8.4.
So maybe there is/was some variant of the SDP module out there
that implements the sk_state_change() hooks DRBD uses to notice
the established connection. Or maybe I misremember.
So maybe, yes, we may need to drop it from the docs.

You can safely assume I am aware of such benchmarks ;-)
But they do not say much about what you can get for *DRBD* over SDP.
But yes, if that was not the case, we had never even bothered to
implement SDP.

We will provide that with drbd 9.

Just like everybody else ;-)

IP (v4 or 6, does not matter) is what everybody is using.
So yes.
