QP1 Is the GSI
The GSI is implemented as a special UD QP. Unlike other QPs that are created and destroyed on an as-needed basis, these QPs are permanently implemented in the following manner:
A separate QP1 is implemented on each port of a CA or a router.
A QP1 is implemented only on the management port (port 0) of a switch.
