Transport modes
The transport modes establish a connection for the queue pair.
The following transport modes are supported
- Reliable connection (RC)
- Each queue pair (QP) is associated with another QP
- Messages that are transmitted by the send queue of one QP are reliably delivered to the receive queue of another QP.
- Packets are delivered in order.
- An RC is similar to a TCP connection.
- Unreliable datagram (UD)
- No actual connection is formed between the QPs.
- The UD mode is similar to a UDP connection.
