This package provides the basic boot time support for systems that use the Linux kernel's remote direct memory access (RDMA) subystem which includes InfiniBand, iWARP, and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE).

Several kernel RDMA support daemons are included: - The rdma-ndd daemon which watches for RDMA device changes and/or hostname changes and updates the Node Description of the RDMA devices based on those changes. - The iWARP Port Mapper Daemon (iwpmd) which provides a kernel support service in userspace for iWARP drivers to claim TCP ports through the standard socket interface.
