MPC8560 TCP/IP Offloading (SDP)

Hi,

I work on a custom MPC8560 board with Linux 2.4.25.
I plan to use it as a TCP/IP Offloading Engine (TOE).
Does anybody know where I can get Socket Direct Protocol (SDP) 
source code for Linux ?

There are tons of documentation on implementation of the SDP and 
user APIs but no direction where and how to download the SDP package.

Thanks
Laurent

Thanks for the point of view.
It seems that SDP concept comes from Microsoft Sockets Direct Technology
and be used on Intel Infiniband architecture.

The following sites seem to be interesting entry points 
(advice from a newbie on this subject :-)):
