Hi all,
when setting the timeout in a struct ibv_qp_attr, this value
corresponds to the Local ACK timeout which according to the Infiniband
spec will define the transport timer timeout defined by the formula:
4.096uS * 2 ^Local Ack timeout". Is this right?
And is there a value for this timeout to be considered "good practice"?
This value is depend on your fabric size, on the HCA you have (and some
more factors)..
Also, in a client-server setup, if this timeout is set to a "big
value" (like 30) when the server dies, the client will take that
amount of time to realize the failure. Is this correct?
Yes, after (at least) the calculated time * number of retry_count usec,
the sender QP will get a retry exceeded
(if there was a SR which was posted without any response from the receiver).
Thank you for the help.
