Wow, thanks for the quick response Fab!<div><br></div><div>I have a bunch of Mellanox Infinihost III Ex cards (all MHEA28-XTC) and I'd like to be able to see if I can get SMB Direct to work over them. I've relatively new to Windows driver development and I thought that trying to add kRDMA support to these old cards would be a great way to learn. Assuming there isn't some hardware limitation that is preventing these older cards from working? Again, I'm new but I'm thinking I would need to update the NDIS miniport in the existing ofed code base to support the new NDIS 6.3 API? Any guidance and help is appreciated!</div>

</div>That's a tough question. Generally, the codebase is architected as:<br>
- core: all process management, IOCTL handling, anything non-HW specific. The drivers here are generally loaded as filter drivers above the HW driver.<br>
- hw: HW specific driver, makes the device work.<br>
- ulp: Upper Level Protocols, the various drivers and DLLs that let you actually do something with the driver stack. E.g. OpenSM, IPoIB, NetworkDirect provider<br>
<br>
If you can say what you are interested in, it will be easier to give you more specific guidance.<br>
<br>
