5	This driver implements the iWARP RDMA transport over
6	the Linux TCP/IP network stack. It enables a system with a
7	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a iWARP
8	adapter or with another system running the SIW driver.
9	(See also RXE which is a similar software driver for RoCE.)

11	The driver interfaces with the Linux RDMA stack and
12	implements both a kernel and user space RDMA verbs API.
13	The user space verbs API requires a support
14	library named libsiw which is loaded by the generic user
15	space verbs API, libibverbs. To implement RDMA over
16	TCP/IP, the driver further interfaces with the Linux
17	in-kernel TCP socket layer.
