Subject: RE: [PATCH 3/14] nes: connection manager routines

This code is far from a TCP stack.  It's main purpose is to exchange
RDMA MPA request/response messages that are required by the iWarp specs
and therefore needed by our hardware.  All RNIC hardware vendors need
this MPA message exchange, including those already accepted into
kernel.org.  Do you have an alternative suggestion?

Thanks,
Glenn.

This seems more like a new TCP stack. I don't think such code is
appropiate, since Linux already has one.
