IP is connectionless, so I'm not sure how to relate from IP to the RDMA CM.
IP is connectionless but has been implemented on top of connection
oriented link layers which may gateway to other connection oriented link
layers or non connection oriented link layers. I think it is analagous
to that.
I didn't think that IP was even being run in this case. Aren't we talking about
an application level gateway? If the RDMA CM ran a protocol that ensured that
data sent from the source reached the actual destination, then this would make
more sense to me. But the protocol is coming from the client.
I just don't think that the RDMA CM should connect to a gateway under the
assumption that a client is running a protocol that operates this way. If the
source and destination were both running iWarp, then wouldn't a connection be
established to the actual destination, and not a gateway?
