[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RDMA over IP Internet Draft and BOF at 53rd IETFThere is a new problem statement for RDMA over IP. Discussion is welcome on the RDMA over IP mailing list at A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft describes the problem that copying in network I/O typically causes high system costs in end-hosts at high speeds. The problem is due to the high cost of memory bandwidth, and it can be substantially improved using 'copy avoidance.' The high overhead has prevented TCP/IP from being used as an interconnection network, and instead special purpose memory-to-memory fabrics have been developed and widely used. An IP-based solution, developed within the IETF, is desirable for interoperability of various network fabrics. It is also particularly important for the IETF to guide the standardization because interconnection technology will soon start to be used over the wide area in the Internet A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-romanow-rdma-over-ip-problem-statement-00.txt There will be a BOF for RDMA over IP (ROI) at the next IETF, scheduled for Tuesday March 19 13:00-14:00. The announcement is at http://ietf.org/ietf/02mar/roi.txt The BOF agenda is subject to change. There will be a proposed charter available for discussion later this week at http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/~steph/roi_charter.txt
