WR(Work Requests )always generate a WC(Work Completion) with signaled send. Default RDS ib code is setup for un-signaled completion. Since RDS connction is persistent, we can end up sending the data even after large-send when the remote end is not active(for any reason).
By doing a signaled send at least once per large-send, we can at least detect the problem in work completion handler there by avoiding sending more data to inactive remote.
