For timeouts and retries, per port makes sense to me as ports may be
connected to different fabrics with different timeouts. Also, it may
depend on the operation (e.g. restricted to a single subnet or across
multiple subnets).

This would be an implementation issue to fix if the more flexible
timeout/retries is to be implemented.
