Again many thanks for your help

With respect to an upper bound on number of rpcs and RMDAs in flight 
system wide, does the situation change much on the Cray XT5 with Lustre 
1.8 and OSSs directly connected to the 3d torus? I am asking after 
having seen the XT3 section in manual. not sure if it applies to XT5 and 
if it does how this might influence the above tunables.
