By default only one socket per peer per physical network is opened. However, Open MPI has the possibility to open multiple socket per peer per network, based on some experiments with the Playstation (where having multiple socket allow for more bandwidth). The MCA parameter that allows such behavior is btl_tcp_links.

When using TCP, how many sockets does each process open per peer- process? Does each process open a single socket to connect to each peer-process, or does it use TWO sockets, one for sending, one for receiving?

Thanks,
