| This driver implements the InfiniBand RDMA transport over |
| the Linux network stack. It enables a system with a |
| standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a RoCE |
| adapter or with another system running the RXE driver. |
| Documentation on InfiniBand and RoCE can be downloaded at |
| www.infinibandta.org and www.openfabrics.org. (See also |
| siw which is a similar software driver for iWARP.) |
| |
| The driver is split into two layers, one interfaces with the |
| Linux RDMA stack and implements a kernel or user space |
| verbs API. The user space verbs API requires a support |
| library named librxe which is loaded by the generic user |
| space verbs API, libibverbs. The other layer interfaces |
| with the Linux network stack at layer 3. |
