If the connect call succeeds in establishing a connection, the ULP's QP should be ready for posting work requests. This simplifies the ULP considerably. The API should not create the QP. That would create race conditions for certain protocols. For example, consider a protocol in which the first message was a send from the server to the client. To properly implement such a protocol, the client must post a receive work request before initiating a connection. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
