Enhanced Remote Direct Memory Access Connection Establishment
RFC 6581, “Enhanced Remote Direct Memory Access Connection Establishment”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2012 by A. Kanevsky, C. Bestler, R. Sharp, S. Wise. It updates RFC 5043, RFC 5044. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document updates RFC 5043 and RFC 5044 by extending Marker Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Aligned Framing (MPA) negotiation for Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) connection establishment. The first enhancement extends RFC 5044, enabling peer-to-peer connection establishment over MPA / Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The second enhancement extends both RFC 5043 and RFC 5044, by providing an option for standardized exchange of RDMA-layer connection configuration. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
