Overhead due to the movement of user data in the end-system network I/O
processing path at high speeds is significant, and has limited the use of
Internet protocols in interconnection networks and the Internet itself -
especially where high bandwidth, low latency and/or low overhead are
required by the hosted application. This draft examines this overhead, and
addresses an architectural, IP-based "copy avoidance" solution for its
elimination, by enabling Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA).
