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

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