Hi Sean,

Great job, thanks.

Some comments that I had while reading the man pages:

1) I think we want to mention that rdma-cm remote address resolving 
involves issuing an ARP through the network stack (similar to the path 
query mentioning in the route resolve page, ARP is not even Infiniband 
specific)

2) I see you are using a "minimum RNR NAK timer" notation, what does 
"minimum" comes to say here?

3) withing mentioning the packet-life-time and hca-local-delay, I think 
that it makes sense to spare a sentence on each and say that the packet 
lifetime is set by the IB SA per route (path)

Or.
