1 Introduction

The SMB2 Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) Transport Protocol allows upper-layer packets to be delivered over RDMA-capable transports such as iWARP [RFC5040] and [RFC5041], Infiniband [IBARCH] or RoCE [ROCE], while utilizing the Direct Data Placement (DDP) capabilities, as defined in [RFC5040] section 2.1, of these transports. One upper layer that optionally uses the SMB2 Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) Transport Protocol is the Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol Versions 2 and 3 [MS-SMB2].

Sections 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2, and 3 of this specification are normative. All other sections and examples in this specification are informative.
