Right.

Credits are a transport layer thing, though. There is no equivalent in
the non-RDMA world. TCP and UDP should normally both be fine with
transmitting an extra RPC call.

Even timeouts are a transport layer issue; see the patches I put out
this morning in order to reduce the TCP connection timeouts and put
them more in line with the lease period. Something like that makes no
sense in the UDP world (no connections), or even in AF_LOCAL (no
routing), which is why I added the set_connection_timeout() callback.
