Description: User space provider drivers for libibverbs
libibverbs is a library that allows userspace processes to use RDMA
"verbs" as described in the InfiniBand Architecture Specification and
the RDMA Protocol Verbs Specification. iWARP ethernet NICs support
RDMA over hardware-offloaded TCP/IP, while InfiniBand is a
high-throughput, low-latency networking technology. InfiniBand host
channel adapters (HCAs) and iWARP NICs commonly support direct
hardware access from userspace (kernel bypass), and libibverbs
supports this when available.
.
An RDMA driver consists of a kernel portion and a user space portion.
