Specifically, it means that a CMA consumer over an iWARP transport will 
not see
connect events until after MPA Start Key negotiation.

I don't know if this helped the parser or not...

Here's another try...practically speaking if a user does:

telnet <rdma_ip_addr> <rdma_port>

that an OpenIB app listening on <rdma_ip_addr> <rdma_port> won't see a connect
event unless the user is extremely adept at typing in MPA headers...
