Hi Folks, I have two machines A and B. And I have a shared memory system so A can read/write B's RAM and vice versa. On top of this shared memory system I plan to develop a Ethernet-like driver running on A and B so that each can talk to the other using IP/socket API. There will be no real Ethernet card in my system.
At first, this looks like RDMA over Ethernet. However, it's the inverse. The shared memory system acts like RDMA underneath, and the Ethernet-like driver running on top of it. So the TX/RX ring actually becomes just a pie of memory in RAM. Sorry this may not be a directly related question to Intel's Ethernet driver. I hope someone can give me some pointers or related open source projects about this kind of driver.
