iWARP RDMAP

Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol (iWARP-RDMAP)

RDMAP operates over iWARP-DDP. RDMAP provides read and write services directly to applications and enables data to be transferred directly into Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) Buffers without intermediate data copies. It also enables a kernel bypass implementation.

History

This protocol has been defined in RFC 5040 in October 2007.

Wireshark

The iWARP-RDMAP 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.

Capture Filter

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