6	This driver implements the InfiniBand RDMA transport over
7	the Linux network stack. It enables a system with a
8	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a RoCE
9	adapter or with another system running the RXE driver.
10	Documentation on InfiniBand and RoCE can be downloaded at
11	www.infinibandta.org and www.openfabrics.org. (See also
12	siw which is a similar software driver for iWARP.)

14	The driver is split into two layers, one interfaces with the
15	Linux RDMA stack and implements a kernel or user space
16	verbs API. The user space verbs API requires a support
17	library named librxe which is loaded by the generic user
18	space verbs API, libibverbs. The other layer interfaces
19	with the Linux network stack at layer 3.
