[openib-general] RDMA enabled NICs- newbie

[Ian Brown]

Thanks all.
I indeed fround that
http://www.ammasso.com/ responds with
"There is no website configured at this address."
while
http://www.chelsio.com/
does exist.

Is there a reason why manufacturers will refrain from
producing RDMA ? (I mean , are there better technologies
which are a substitute for RDMA for ethernet ?)
Regards,
IB
