ROCE implements the IB protocol, so a software ROCE driver will need a IB protocol implementation sitting ontop of ethernet frames (v1) or the internet protocol stack (v2). > If it is, then as you have rung the bell for > getting this library written, I will expect Mellanox to work with Intel > to make sure that this library is suitable for not just their hardware > drivers but also the soft-roce driver you guys are working on.

If they can come up with a library that jsut fits their use case without being bad in other ways the burden to adopt it to ROCE should fall on whoever wants to submit that code. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
