The three series are incrementally built, i.e, the TID RDMA READ series depends on OPFN series, and the TID RDMA WRITE series depends on both OPFN and TID RDMA READ series. Therefore, you should apply OPFN first, and TID RDMA READ, and lastly TID RDMA WRITE. Each stop (OPFN, OPFN + READ, OPFN + READ +WRITE) have been fully tested and functional.
