The connection manager API is relatively stable, and has been for a while. 
Changes to the API have come in the form of new options and calls, rather than 
changes to the existing calls.

My understanding is that it's not possible to connect iWarp QPs without using 
the connection manager.  For IB, it's possible to connect over sockets and 
exchange QP information over a TCP connection, but the same is not true for iWarp.
