[rds-devel] RDS connections

[Andy Grover]

Yes this is definitely an issue:

https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1355

Machine B will keep trying to reconnect to machine A indefinitely. These
attempts will become less frequent over time, FWIW.

We could probably just put a retry count on the connection and give up
after some number. Might we need different behavior depending on if we
had queued data or not?
