   fabric with a 2K MTU, the IPoIB MTU will be 2048 - 4 = 2044 bytes.
 
   In connected mode, the IB RC (Reliable Connected) transport is used.
-  Connected mode is to takes advantage of the connected nature of the
-  IB transport and allows an MTU up to the maximal IP packet size of
-  64K, which reduces the number of IP packets needed for handling
-  large UDP datagrams, TCP segments, etc and increases the performance

   In connected mode, the interface's UD QP is still used for multicast
   and communication with peers that don't support connected mode. In
