Bring RoCE - RDMA over Converged Ethernet Capability to Virtio-net Device

Bring RoCE - RDMA over Converged Ethernet Capability to Virtio-net Device

Explore a new approach to enable RDMA in virtio-based environments through a conference talk that extends virtio-net device support for RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet). Delve into the importance of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) in modern data centers, current virtualization solutions, and their limitations. Learn about the design details of this innovative approach, including new virtqueue types, device initialization, control path operations, and data path processes. Compare this method with existing solutions, discuss open questions, and gain insights into future plans for implementing RDMA capabilities in virtualized environments.
