For the "most" performance connection, the ULP would use IB, and all these problems go away. :)
This proposal is for each iwarp interface to have its own IP address. Clients would need an iwarp usable address of the server and would connect using rdma_connect(). If that call (or rdma_resolve_addr/route) fails, the client could try connecting using sockets, aoi, or some other interface. I don't see that Steve's proposal changes anything from the client's perspective.
