tavor - InfiniHost MT23108/MT25208 InfiniBand (IB) Driver
SYNOPSIS
PCI pci15b3,5a44@pci-slot, pci15b3,5a45@pci-slot
PCI-E pci15b3,6278@pci-e-slot, pci15b3,6279@pci-e-slot
The tavor driver is an IB Architecture-compliant implementation of an HCA, which operates on the Mellanox MT23108 InfiniBand ASSP and the
Mellanox MT25208 InfiniBand ASSP. These ASSP's support the link and physical layers of the InfiniBand specification, while the ASSP and
the driver support the transport layer.
The tavor driver interfaces with the InfiniBand Transport Framework (IBTF) and provides an implementation of the Channel Interfaces that
are defined by that framework. It also enables management applications and agents to access the IB fabric.
