Reading Time: 2 minutes Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is an interesting way to improve network connections and bandwith by providing a direct memory access from the memory of one system into that of another. Compared to the full TCP/IP stack, RDMA can be managed without involving either one’s operating system (OS) and this means saving host resources and speed-up the communication. RDMA permits high-throughput and low-latencynetworking, but more important is becoming a common feature on some network card, and also supported by different OSes and hypervisors.
