Just want to let everyone know know that we have started an opensource
effort (www.openrdma.org) for enablement of RNICs (RDMA enabled NICs). This
community has now come up with an architecture
(http://rdma.sourceforge.net/architecture.pdf) to build this support in Linux.
Would really appreciate if you review and provide any comments. We have just
started to hack but no code is available on this project yet.

Thanks
