[libfabric-users] connection-less send/recv with verbs

Thank you Arun,

I understand how the handshake works, but I do not get the requirement of starting the server before the client, in particular in case of connection-less communication.
As far as I understand, fabtests use a spinning wait on top of asynchronous send/recv communication, that should definitively not be influenced by the relative starting order.

Anyway, I think we should consider as resolved the issue I posed.

Conversely, I am collecting a set of behaviors that look to me like not fully matching the documentation.
What is the proper path to report them? Maybe mailing to the ofiwg mailing list?

Indeed, with this command line the “verbs;ofi_rxm” shows up, maybe it is just matter of some limit on the number of results showed by fi_info.
I will give it a try.

Thank you again for your time.
