OpenSAF uses TIPC socket type RDM but the above scenario (send failure) can 
happen with any TIPC socket type including connection oriented socket STREAM or 
SEQPACKET.

I think the problem is more likely to happen on OpenSAFs central services on 
the controllers. Especially when there is cluster formation. The risk increases 
with a large IMM database etc.

** [tickets:#641] MDS resend**

Occasionally we see TIPC link congestion at the sending node. This can be seen 
with "tipc-config -ls" as in:

Link <1.1.1:eth0-1.1.2:eth0>
  ACTIVE  MTU:1500  Priority:10  Tolerance:1500 ms  Window:100 packets
  RX packets:1877 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0
  TX packets:17511 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0
  TX profile sample:489 packets  average:151 octets
  0-64:0% -256:97% -1024:0% -4096:3% -16354:0% -32768:0% -66000:0%
  RX states:12974 probes:5918 naks:0 defs:0 dups:0
  TX states:12148 probes:6230 naks:0 acks:0 dups:0
  Congestion bearer:0 link:12  Send queue max:81 avg:0

Above is from testing with tipc-pipe. With the default link window at 50 I get 
one send EAGAIN when sending 100 msgs. When I increase link window to 100 I can 
burst 100 msgs without link congestion. If I then burst 1000 msgs I see lots of 
link congestion.


If we transfer this to opensaf it means a failed MDS send. MDS does not do any 
resends, neither does any service (IMMs FEVS not considered)

AMFd for example could loose a message to a node director which is very bad.

What I suggest is that messages should be resent, typically a loop with 3 
retries with a 100ms sleep in between.

There are some concerns, like:
* Can we put this in MDS or should it be done per service?
* What about MDS/TCP, same problem there?
