Re: Simplified iWARP Consumer Library

I'll have to look into that. So far, the library was intended as an add-on
to the existing code with the option to fall back to the original API if
need be.

Which of the features would you want to see in librdmacm? I guess the
integration of the cm_id and qp as well as the simpler (synchronous) connection
establishment and teardown functionality would fit. However, all cm events
will thereafter be handled within the library rather than being presented to the
user. Does that make sense?
