Here is the thread where we discussed how to implement peer-to-peer for
iWARP in Nov/2007:

From RFC 5044, section 7.1.2 "Connection Startup Rules", Page 29:
4. MPA Responder mode implementations MUST receive and validate at
least one FPDU before sending any FPDUs or Markers.
Note: This requirement is present to allow the Initiator time to
get its receiver into Full Operation before an FPDU arrives,
avoiding potential race conditions at the Initiator. This
was also subject to some debate in the work group before
rough consensus was reached. Eliminating this requirement
would allow faster startup in some types of applications.
However, that would also make certain implementations
(particularly "dual stack") much harder.
