Harnessing 3200 Gbps Network (1): RDMA and EFA

Before we start writing code to operate the 3200 Gbps network, let’s understand the hardware, software, and system design philosophy required to drive this high-performance network. RDMA Most networks we use daily are based on TCP/IP protocols. Applications interact with the Linux kernel through sockets. The Linux kernel maintains a complete TCP/IP protocol stack and is responsible for controlling…
