Hello folks, Today we'll see what RDMA is and how different kind of network solutions work over Ethernet. For those who are wondering what these words are, this is a post about Networking and an overview can be, how to increase your network speed without adding new servers or IB over your network, wherein IB stands for InfiniBand which is basically a networking communication standard majorly used in HPC  that features very high  throughput  and very low  latency , for what HPC is, refer to my previous blog. This is how a Mellanox IB cable looks like In order, not to use IB, increasing the speed for Ethernet-based solutions is a better and cost-effective solution in many cases which is implemented using RDMA, thus saving cost and technology shift overhead for every admin out there. So let's see what RDMA is, RDMA stands for Remote Direct Memory Access  is a  direct memory access  from the  memory  of one computer into that of another without involving either one'
