RFC 5040: A Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol Specification

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7146. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines a Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol (RDMAP) that operates over the Direct Data Placement Protocol (DDP protocol). RDMAP provides read and write services directly to applications and enables data to be transferred directly into Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) Buffers without intermediate data copies. It also enables a kernel bypass implementation. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
