A method and apparatus are provided for selecting an optimal communication path between an IB computer and a non-IB computer. All gateways that join the network multicast their presence on the network. The data associated with the multicast transmission are retained by each member of the network in the associated cache. The retained multicast data is leveraged to select an optimal transmission protocol between the host and target computers, and a gateway configured to support the selected transmission protocol.
