RDMA Connection Manager Private Data For RPC-Over-RDMA Version 1
draft-ietf-nfsv4-rpcrdma-cm-pvt-data-07
Abstract
This document specifies the format of RDMA-CM Private Data exchanged
between RPC-over-RDMA version 1 peers as part of establishing a
connection. The addition of the private data payload specified in
this document is an optional extension that does not alter the RPC-
over-RDMA version 1 protocol. This document updates RFC 8166.

1. Introduction
The RPC-over-RDMA version 1 transport protocol [RFC8166] enables
payload data transfer using Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) for
upper-layer protocols based on Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)
[RFC5531]. The terms "Remote Direct Memory Access" (RDMA) and
"Direct Data Placement" (DDP) are introduced in [RFC5040].
The two most immediate shortcomings of RPC-over-RDMA version 1 are:
o Setting up an RDMA data transfer (via RDMA Read or Write) can be
costly. The small default size of messages transmitted using RDMA
Send forces the use of RDMA Read or Write operations even for
relatively small messages and data payloads.
The original specification of RPC-over-RDMA version 1 provided an
out-of-band protocol for passing inline threshold values between
connected peers [RFC5666]. However, [RFC8166] eliminated support
for this protocol making it unavailable for this purpose.
