We have not tried it. However, I believe this NetworkDirect interface is
different than the standard OFED libibverbs interface. Thus, MVAPICH2-ofa
interface will not work with it directly unless changes are done to the
MVAPICH2 stack. Might be some people from Microsoft can provide us with more
details and insights to this issue.

Thanks,

DK
