Abstract
A system and method can provide source ID spoof protection in an InfiniBand (IB) fabric. The IB fabric can support a plurality of tenants in a subnet that connects a plurality of physical servers, wherein the plurality of tenants are associated with different partitions in the subnet. Then, the plurality of tenants can use at least one shared service, and the IB fabric can be configured to determine what ID values are legal for different physical servers and different partitions.
