[ofa-general] timeout question

[Rui Machado]

Hi all,

when setting the timeout in a struct ibv_qp_attr, this value
corresponds to the Local ACK timeout which according to the Infiniband
spec will define the transport timer timeout defined by the formula:
4.096uS * 2 ^Local Ack timeout". Is this right?
And is there a value for this timeout to be considered "good practice"?

Also, in a client-server setup, if this timeout is set to a "big
value" (like 30) when the server dies, the client will take that
amount of time to realize the failure. Is this correct?

Thank you for the help.
