We use a special multicast address to discover other nodes on the network and then MAD to get full path information. The application is written directly to verbs and establishes reliable connections using information exchanged over ARP. Is there anything I can do other than restart the discovery and connection process? Shouldn't we have enough information with the GID to retain and reroute the connection? One more question; I saw librdmacm which looked nice but it does not support multi-path connections. It would eliminate a lot of code if we could use this, are there plans for it? Did I miss some functionality?
