 Hi Ferruh,

Both packages, rdma-core upstream &  Mellanox OFED are Linux user-space packages :
 	1. Rdma-core is the Linux upstream user-space package.
 	2. Mellanox OFED  is the Mellanox's Linux user-space package.
 The difference is the APIs . We shall explain that difference in the 
 release notes .
