The RDMA software allows computers in a network to exchange data in main memory without involving the processor, cache, or OS of either computer. RDMA can improve throughput and performance because it frees up resources, and it can also facilitate a faster data transfer rate. RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) is the network protocol that allows RDMA over an Ethernet network.
RoCE functionality is available in user mode and kernel mode application for Windows. RoCE PF and SRIOV VF are available in single function mode and in multifunction mode (NIC Partitioning mode). You can install and configure RoCE in Windows, Linux, and VMWare.
