I think the Windows IB stack may do something similar. The difficulty is doing this at a higher level is that the QP must be destroyed in order for the CQs / PD to be destroyed. The IB CM already tracks timewait, so could notify drivers when a QP can be re-used, but that requires connections to go through the CM. For stale connection handling, that may be a good thing anyway, but there's nothing enforcing this today. - Sean _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
