If you require more details on how this all works - it was fully explored in the IETF RDDP workgroup - may I suggest a reading of the RDMA Security Considerations draft which goes through many of the issues on how one relates to a host stack. This complements the MPA spec and supports much of what Steve has already responded to during this string of e-mails. We took a great deal of time and debate to insure this can work efficiently and without confusion in terms of who owns what and when.
