88700e3e7SMoni Shoua	This driver implements the InfiniBand RDMA transport over
98700e3e7SMoni Shoua	the Linux network stack. It enables a system with a
108700e3e7SMoni Shoua	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a RoCE
118700e3e7SMoni Shoua	adapter or with another system running the RXE driver.
128700e3e7SMoni Shoua	Documentation on InfiniBand and RoCE can be downloaded at
138700e3e7SMoni Shoua	www.infinibandta.org and www.openfabrics.org. (See also
148700e3e7SMoni Shoua	siw which is a similar software driver for iWARP.)
158700e3e7SMoni Shoua
168700e3e7SMoni Shoua	The driver is split into two layers, one interfaces with the
178700e3e7SMoni Shoua	Linux RDMA stack and implements a kernel or user space
188700e3e7SMoni Shoua	verbs API. The user space verbs API requires a support
198700e3e7SMoni Shoua	library named librxe which is loaded by the generic user
208700e3e7SMoni Shoua	space verbs API, libibverbs. The other layer interfaces
218700e3e7SMoni Shoua	with the Linux network stack at layer 3.
