New List: rdma@cisco.com: to discuss RDMA

[csapuntz@cisco.com]

There have been a couple proposals for RDMA on top of IP over the past
few months. It seems that there is interest in discussing and
developing this topic. The ips working group mailing alias may not
be the best place for a focused discussion on this topic.

In that vein, I have created a list called rdma@cisco.com. To subscribe
to it, send a message to mailer@cisco.com with a blank subject line
and a one-line body that says "subscribe rdma address@your.domain".

The goals of the list include:

	- Establishing the utility (if any) of RDMA
	- Enumerating requirements for RDMA on top of IP
	- Discussing the current proposals
	- Co-ordinating proof-of-concept implementations 
	- Gauging interest in proceeding with standardization of RDMA

Both TCP and SCTP will be initially considered.
