4.3 RDMA over Converged Ethernet

ConnectX®-3 connected to an Ethernet fabric provides all of the basic NIC functionality plus

RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). RoCE utilizes advances in Data Center Bridging (DCB)

to enable efficient and low cost implementations of RDMA over Ethernet, supporting the entire

breadth of RDMA and low latency features. This includes reliable connected service, datagram

service, RDMA and send/receive semantics, atomic operations, user level multicast, user level I/O

access, kernel bypass, and zero copy. This capability is enabled when using the Mellanox OFED or

WinOF VPI drivers.
