7	This driver implements the InfiniBand RDMA transport over
8	the Linux network stack. It enables a system with a
9	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a RoCE
10	adapter or with another system running the RXE driver.
11	Documentation on InfiniBand and RoCE can be downloaded at
12	www.infinibandta.org and www.openfabrics.org. (See also
13	siw which is a similar software driver for iWARP.)

15	The driver is split into two layers, one interfaces with the
16	Linux RDMA stack and implements a kernel or user space
17	verbs API. The user space verbs API requires a support
18	library named librxe which is loaded by the generic user
19	space verbs API, libibverbs. The other layer interfaces
20	with the Linux network stack at layer 3.
