Chapter IV. iWARP (RDMA)
Chelsio T5/T4 Unified Wire For Linux Page 65
1. Introduction
Chelsio’s T5/T4 engine implements a feature rich RDMA implementation which adheres to the
IETF standards with optional markers and MPA CRC-32C.
The iWARP RDMA operation benefits from the virtualization, traffic management and QoS
mechanisms provided by T5/T4 engine. It is possible to ACL process iWARP RDMA packets. It
is also possible to rate control the iWARP traffic on a per-connection or per-class basis, and to
give higher priority to QPs that implement distributed locking mechanisms. The iWARP
operation also benefits from the high performance and low latency TCP implementation in the
offload engine.
