Out-of-Order (OOO)

In certain fabric configurations, InfiniBand packets for a given QP may take up different paths in a network from source to destination. This results into packets being received in an out-of-order manner. These packets can now be handled instead of being dropped, in order to avoid retransmission. Data will be placed into host memory in an out-of-order manner when out of order messages are received.
