NAME
       ibtl - Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer

DESCRIPTION
       InfiniBand  (IB)	 is  an	 I/O technology based on switched fabrics. The
       Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer (IBTL) is a Solaris kernel misc mod‐
       ule  and	 adheres  to the IB Architecture Version 1.1 specification and
       provides a transport layer abstraction to IB client drivers.

       IBTL implements the programming interfaces for the  Solaris  InfiniBand
       Transport Framework (IBTF), consisting of the IB Channel Interface (CI)
       and the IB Transport Interface (TI).

       The CI consists of Host Channel Adapters (HCAs) and HCA drivers. A host
       is  attached to the IB fabric through the CI layer. The Solaris Infini‐
       Band CI is Sun's API rendering of the  InfiniBand  Architecture	(IBTA)
       "verbs" specification.

       The  Solaris  InfiniBand TI is the kernel service driver interface into
       the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework. It provides	transport  and
       communications  setup  programming  interfaces  for Unreliable Datagram
       (UD) and Reliable Connected (RC) transport types only.
