NAME

       ibtl - Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer

DESCRIPTION

       InfiniBand (IB) is an I/O technology based on switched fabrics. The Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer (IBTL) is a Solaris kernel misc mod-
       ule and adheres to the IB Architecture Version 1.1 specification and provides a transport layer abstraction to IB client drivers.

       IBTL implements the programming interfaces for the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework (IBTF), consisting of the  IB	Channel  Interface
       (CI) and the IB Transport Interface (TI).

       The  CI	consists  of  Host  Channel Adapters (HCAs) and HCA drivers. A host is attached to the IB fabric through the CI layer. The Solaris
       InfiniBand CI is Sun's API rendering of the InfiniBand Architecture (IBTA) "verbs" specification.

       The Solaris InfiniBand TI is the kernel service driver interface into the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework. It provides transport and
       communications setup programming interfaces for Unreliable Datagram (UD) and Reliable Connected (RC) transport types only.
