OFED Interoperability NetEffect April 30, 2007 Sonoma Workshop Presentation

2 Overview  iWARP fulfills OpenFabrics vision of multiple fabrics supporting same RDMA enabled Verbs API

3 iWARP Plugfest  UNH-IOL multi-vendor interoperability plugfest  Participants included:  Adapters Vendors – NetEffect & Chelsio  Network Test Equipment – Finisar & Anue  Test Company – Lamprey Networks  Network Vendors – HP ProCurve & Fulcrum Microsystems  10 Gb iWARP Ethernet - plugged and played  Across multiple adapter and switch vendors
