Intel® Ethernet 800 Series Linux Flow Control
Configuration Guide for RDMA Use Cases
Network Host and Switch Setup
Host prerequisites for RDMA are outside the scope of this guide, but in general, you need at a minimum:
- Two Linux hosts with
800 Series adapters. - Supporting
800 Series firmware and software (NVM with RDMA support, ice (Intel® Ethernet) driver, and irdma driver).
If using software in DCB mode, you also need OpenLLDP, which includes the lldpad daemon and lldptool configuration utility.
