Abstract: Expand the virtio portfolio with RDMA 

Description:
Data center backends use more and more RDMA or RoCE devices and more and
more software runs in virtualized environment.
There is a need for a standard to enable RDMA/RoCE on Virtual Machines.
Virtio is the optimal solution since is the de-facto para-virtualizaton
technology and also because the Virtio specification allows Hardware
Vendors to support Virtio protocol natively in order to achieve bare metal
performance.
This talk addresses challenges in defining the RDMA/RoCE Virtio
Specification and a look forward on possible implementation techniques.
