What does "simplified" mean in this context? I'm concerned that including that word will cause confusion. How about writing that RTRS implements a reliable transport layer and also multipathing functionality and that it is intended to be the base layer for a block storage initiator over RDMA?

+	  RTRS server module processing connection and IO requests received
+	  from the RTRS client module, it will pass the IO requests to its
+	  user eg. RNBD_server.

Users who see these help texts will be left wondering what RTRS stands for. Please add some text that explains what the RTRS abbreviation stands for.

Thanks,

Bart.
