Remote Direct Memory Access Transport for Remote Procedure Call
RFC 5666, “Remote Direct Memory Access Transport for Remote Procedure Call”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2010 by T. Talpey, B. Callaghan. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8166 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a protocol providing Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) as a new transport for Remote Procedure Call (RPC). The RDMA transport binding conveys the benefits of efficient, bulk-data transport over high-speed networks, while providing for minimal change to RPC applications and with no required revision of the application RPC protocol, or the RPC protocol itself.

What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
