A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Remote Direct Data Placement Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: RDMA over IP Problem Statement
	Author(s)	: A. Romanow, J. Mogul, T. Talpey, S. Bailey

This draft addresses an IP-based solution to the problem of high
system costs due to network I/O copying in end-hosts at high
speeds.  The problem is due to the high cost of memory bandwidth,
and it can be substantially improved using 'copy avoidance.'  The
high overhead has limited the use of TCP/IP in interconnection
networks especially where high bandwidth, low latency and/or low
overhead of end-system data movement are required by the hosted
application.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
