That would probably provide better scalability, since there
would not be a 1:1 mapping between UDP sockets and IB connections,
however for large clusters there may still be a scalability issue
if every node needs to have a connection to every other node. 
If you implemented it on top of datagrams instead, then each node
would only need one QP, rather than one for every node in the cluster.
