Subject: Re: [MTT users] RETRY EXCEEDED ERROR

The "RETRY EXCEEDED ERROR" error is related to IB and not MTT.
The error says that IB failed to send IB packet from
machine 10.2.1.90 to 10.2.1.50
You need to run your IB network monitoring tool and found the issue.
Usually it is some bad cable in IB fabric that causes such errors.
