This driver implements the iWARP RDMA transport over
|
||
|
|
the Linux TCP/IP network stack. It enables a system with a
|
||
|
|
standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a iWARP
|
||
|
|
adapter or with another system running the SIW driver.
|
||
|
|
(See also RXE which is a similar software driver for RoCE.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The driver interfaces with the Linux RDMA stack and
|
||
|
|
implements both a kernel and user space RDMA verbs API.
|
||
|
|
The user space verbs API requires a support
|
||
|
|
library named libsiw which is loaded by the generic user
|
||
|
|
space verbs API, libibverbs. To implement RDMA over
|
||
|
|
TCP/IP, the driver further interfaces with the Linux
|
||
|
|
in-kernel TCP socket layer.
