Tom,
We should attempt to connect for no less than dat_ep_connect's timeout
value. We don't need to guarantee that the connection attempts will
last for exactly a specific time.
Sean,
Is there any way of requesting an infinite number of retries?

From a CM perspective, this sounds fine. Note that the CM timeout will
not
occur until the number of retries has been met. So I don't know if the
timeout passed to dapl_ep_connect() should convert directly into the
remote_cm_response_timeout, or needs to be divided by the number of
retries.
So, are you saying that if you have a timeout of 4 seconds (you pass in
20) and you have retries set to 2, that it will fail after 8 seconds?
James, what is the timeout value passed into dapl_ep_connect mean, the
total timeout time? Or how much for each retry?
If you pass in a timeout of 4 seconds with retries to 2, the call will
timeout in 12 seconds. The request will be sent 3 times (2 retries). I
should also note that the CM timeout includes the packet lifetime (round
trip time) in its timeout calculation, but this should be small.
