Background Reading on RDMA
RDMA is a networking technology that provides high-throughput, low-latency communication that minimizes CPU usage. NDK currently supports the following RDMA technologies:
- Infiniband (IB)
- Internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol (iWARP)
- RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)
For more information about RDMA, Infiniband, iWARP, and RoCE, see the following resources:
- RFC 5040: A Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol Specification
- RFC 5041: Direct Data Placement over Reliable Transports
- RFC 5042: Direct Data Placement Protocol (DDP) / Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol (RDMAP) Security
- RFC 5043: Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Direct Data Placement (DDP) Adaptation
