What is the difference between ULP not issuing listen yet vs.
ULP not issuing peer-to-peer connect which does listen under the cover?
If conn request comes from another side before either of them
it will be rejected by CM since nobody is listening.

P.S. Sean, my appologies.

Yes.
The question is who issues it?
It can be done by the CM and not ULP.
Looking way back at VIPL there was a peer-to-peer model
with the API similar to the
one which Shane outlines.
If the CM issues the listen its means I can connect to you now
only if you try to connect to me NOW, my understanding is that this is
useless protocol, but I will be happy to hear why I am wrong.
