That would be another way to interpret this: that each time the CM 
times out, DAPL should re-attempt to establish a connection. However, 
the original implementation didn't do this and the feedback I've 
received is that such a feature would not be appropriate for the 
kernel. 

If there are kernel applications that want this, we can add it.
