On of those is whether the current time has exceeded the start time of the io plus the timeout length. This check, if an io times out, means there is never a retry allowed for the io. Which means applications see the io failure. Remove this check and allow the io to timeout, like it does on other protocols, and retries to be made. On the FC transport, a frame can be lost for an individual io, and there may be no other errors that escalate for the connection/association. The io will timeout, which causes the transport to escalate into creating a new association, but the io that timed out, due to this retry logic, has already failed back to the application and things are hosed.
