Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing queue pair connection protection over an interconnect network, such as InfiniBand. A message packet is received for a queue pair (QP) and the QP is checked for an imminent connection failure. Responsive to identifying an imminent connection failure, a special message processing mode is established for the QP. After the special message processing mode is established, packets of the message are received without establishing a message queue entry and without storing packet data.
