9c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	This driver implements the iWARP RDMA transport over
10c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	the Linux TCP/IP network stack. It enables a system with a
11c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a iWARP
12c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	adapter or with another system running the SIW driver.
13c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	(See also RXE which is a similar software driver for RoCE.)
14c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler
15c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	The driver interfaces with the Linux RDMA stack and
16c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	implements both a kernel and user space RDMA verbs API.
17c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	The user space verbs API requires a support
18c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	library named libsiw which is loaded by the generic user
19c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	space verbs API, libibverbs. To implement RDMA over
20c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	TCP/IP, the driver further interfaces with the Linux
21c0cf5bddSBernard Metzler	in-kernel TCP socket layer.
