Detailed Description

Overview

The irdma Linux* driver enables RDMA functionality on RDMA-capable Intel network devices.

Devices supported by this driver:

  • Intel® Ethernet Controller E810
  • Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter X722

The E810 and X722 devices each support a different set of RDMA features.

  • E810 supports both iWARP and RoCEv2 RDMA transports, and also supports congestion management features like priority flow control (PFC) and explicit congestion notification (ECN).
  • X722 supports only iWARP and a more limited set of configuration parameters.

Differences between adapters are described in each section of the README_irdma.txt

Note:  For both E810 and X722, the corresponding LAN driver (ice or i40e) must be built from source included in this release and installed on your system prior to installing irdma.
