iWARP DDP

Direct Data Placement over Reliable Transports (iWARP-DDP)

The Direct Data Placement protocol provides information to Place the incoming data directly into an upper layer protocol's receive buffer without intermediate buffers.

History

This protocol has been defined in RFC 5041 in October 2007.

Wireshark

The iWARP-DDP dissector is fully functional. Since the headers of iWARP-RDMAP and iWARP-DDP overlap and since iWARP-DDP is in practice never seen without RDMAP on top, we have built a combined dissector that implements both protocols together as iwarp_ddp_rdmap. We discussed this with Guy Harris at the latest Sharkfest.

We assume that it is running on top of iWARP-MPA. SCTP support is not yet implemented since it is not used in practice. The following would have to be added for SCTP support:

#define DDP_SEGMENT_CHUNK_ID 16
#define DDP_STREAM_SESSION_CONTROL_ID 17

static int
dissect_ddp_segment_chunk(...)
{
    /* dissection code for DDP segment chunk carried within SCTP */
}

static int
dissect_ddp_stream_session_ctrl(...)
{
    /* dissection code for DDP stream control carried within SCTP */
}

void
proto_reg_handoff_iwarp_ddp_rdmap(voi)
{
    dissector_handle_t seg_chunk_handle;
    dissector_handle_t str_ses_ctrl_handle;

    seg_chunk_handle = create_dissector_handle(dissect_ddp_segment_chunk, proto_iwarp_ddp_rdmap);
    str_ses_ctrl_handle = create_dissector_handle(dissect_ddp_stream_session_ctrl, proto_iwarp_ddp_rdmap);

    dissector_add("sctp.ppi", DDP_SEGMENT_CHUNK_ID, seg_chunk_handle);
    dissector_add("sctp.ppi", DDP_STREAM_SESSION_CONTROL_ID, str_ses_ctrl_handle);
}

Capture Filter

You cannot directly filter iWARP-DDP protocols while capturing. However, if you know the TCP port used (see above), you can filter on that one.
