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. + + To configure and work with soft-RoCE driver please use the + following wiki page under "configure Soft-RoCE (RXE)" section: + + https://github.com/SoftRoCE/rxe-dev/wiki/rxe-dev:-Home |
