Is this homework? Looks like that to me...

You will have to take care of this in your programming. Will your client use the 'connect' system call to connect to the server? In that case, if no reply is received from the remote end, you will get -1 returned and errno variable set to some value. This value will change from OS to OS.

Check the man page of connect on your system to know what will be set. Then if the error is that the socket has timed out, then, your code can sleep for a bit and then try again.

rdma_client

RDMA_CLIENT(1)							     librdmacm							    RDMA_CLIENT(1)

NAME

       rdma_client - simple RDMA CM connection and ping-pong test.

SYNOPSIS

       rdma_client [-s server_address] [-p server_port]

DESCRIPTION

       Uses  synchronous librdmam calls to establish an RDMA connection between two nodes.  This example is intended to provide a very simple cod-
       ing example of how to use RDMA.

OPTIONS

       -s server_address
	      Specifies the address of the system that the rdma_server is running on.  By default, the client  will  attempt  to  connect  to  the
	      server using 127.0.0.1.

       -p server_port
	      Specifies the port number that the server listens on.  By default the server listens on port 7471.

NOTES

       Basic usage is to start rdma_server, then connect to the server using the rdma_client program.

       Because	this  test maps RDMA resources to userspace, users must ensure that they have available system resources and permissions.  See the
       libibverbs README file for additional details.
