So the only issue here is the inefficiency in terms of the back and

connection rate for SDP and SRP ? If not, can't we live with how things
are ?
SDP implements sockets, and thats a very wide field, so everything is important.
AFAIK, connection rate is very important for some socket applications, and does
not matter at all for others.
It sounds like better CM handling is important for connection rate.
Right.
I didn't follow what changes are necessary to improve the connection rate. Can
you clarify?
Changes in the CM protocol so that a 3 way handshake can occur so that
for example a lower MTU connection can be accepted with one REQ/REP/RTU
sequence without REQ/REJ then REQ/REP/RTU.
Okay - this is what I thought. Personally, I don't think that it makes sense to
change the architecture to optimize for hardware that happens to perform poorly
under a given condition.
What would happen if the hardware simply reported that it only supported a
smaller MTU?
