6 ibtl - Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer
7
9 InfiniBand (IB) is an I/O technology based on switched fabrics. The
10 Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer (IBTL) is a Solaris kernel misc mod‐
11 ule and adheres to the IB Architecture Version 1.1 specification and
12 provides a transport layer abstraction to IB client drivers.
13
14
15 IBTL implements the programming interfaces for the Solaris InfiniBand
16 Transport Framework (IBTF), consisting of the IB Channel Interface (CI)
17 and the IB Transport Interface (TI).
18
19
20 The CI consists of Host Channel Adapters (HCAs) and HCA drivers. A host
21 is attached to the IB fabric through the CI layer. The Solaris Infini‐
22 Band CI is Sun's API rendering of the InfiniBand Architecture (IBTA)
23 "verbs" specification.
24
25
26 The Solaris InfiniBand TI is the kernel service driver interface into
27 the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework. It provides transport and
28 communications setup programming interfaces for Unreliable Datagram
29 (UD) and Reliable Connected (RC) transport types only.
