multiple connections

[julian_satran@il.ibm.com]

Dear colleagues,

With all the heated debate about multiple vs. single connection a request I
made
a while ago got no significant reply (neither for nor against).

The request was to consider a proposal made by Kalman Meth to reconsider
the asymmetric model with the addition of a path selection made by the
initiator.

This proposal allows removing the command counters - as commands use a
single TCP connection. The single connection can also be a shared
data+control connection.

In case of multiple connection the data path to be used is selected and
maintained until
the command ends.


Thanks,
Julo
