Hello Paul, The Chelsio RNIC do support the marker feature, but as far as I know the feature has never been used in the field, and it isn't supported by all RNIC implementations. I periodically ask our AE and developers about this feature and so far the answer is that no one uses it, and no one is asking for it (4 years of data at this point).
