Pair Connections

When defining connection-oriented transports (such as static TCP, RDMA, and RUDP) the connect end and the listen end must cooperate to establish a connection.

  • Listen End and Connect End
    In a pair connection, the assignment of listen end and connect end is not arbitrary. Instead, it depends on the type of interaction, or on the bus topology. To simplify transport configuration, follow these guidelines.
  • Connect Requests are Specific to IP Addresses
    In a connection-oriented transport, the definition for a connect end hard-configures a specific IP address at the listening end.
