[ofa-general] iWARP issues

I don't think we can accomplish much without participation from the network
maintainers, which I'm guessing will go something like this: "No - end of
discussion".  (This is the polite version.)

I'm working on adding a timeout to rdma_connect() now.  I'm trying to decide if
there should be a single timeout parameter, or timeout and retry values.

Does anyone know the details regarding the TCP connection retry algorithm in
Linux?  (time between retries, number of retries, etc.)
