This more question to mellanox then to neutron community. 
I suggest that you will send me private mail regarding this issue and we can take it with the relevant people in Mellanox.

> As far as we understand Neutron rely on eIPoIB in order to manage

> Here below the Mellanox support answer about that:

> "Please note that as of Mellanox OFED 4.0 eIPoIB is no longer supported in
> Mellanox OFED.If you wish to use it we recommend using the 3.4.X Drivers
> which still supported this feature."

> Obviously we can not use the 3.X version of OFED because is not supported

> version.
> Do you have any plan to overcome this issue?
