some questions about how to realize rdma on server

Open hdtjiang opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Is the DCQCN based on RoCEv2 the only one to realize RDMA? I compare the code with the basic ns3 about udp. But I cannot find the code about kernel bypass.Have you realizede it ? Thanks for your reply.

This is a SIMULATOR for the network protocol. It is not intended for evaluating the OS stack implementation.

If you want to try the actual implementation, DCQCN has been shipped with Mellanox CX3-PRO and CX4 NICs. Yes, it's implemented in NIC, totally bypassing the kernel and CPU.

RoCEv2 is not the only way to realize RDMA. InfiniBand, for example, has been a popular RDMA solution. RoCEv2 is relatively younger, and only requires common Ethernet switches instead of InfiniBand switches.

RoCEv2 can run without DCQCN. DCQCN improves the performance of RoCEv2 in multi-hop networks.
