Description
What is the goal of this request? and Is this request for a specific GPU architecture or network infrastructure?
- To use RDMA-CM Enhanced Connection Establishment (ECE) feature for CX7/8 nic
How will this feature improve current workflows or processes?
- When using CM connection establishment, ECE enables some vender specific features(rttcc for example), which is convenient, and the performance is better compared to socket connection establishment for our workload.

Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or specific entry points. Start by locating NVSHMEM's existing socket connection-establishment path and any RDMA-CM integration, then investigate ECE support for CX7/8 NICs. Done means a defined implementation path for CM-based ECE and validation that the requested connection mode works.
