rdma_xclient - RDMA CM communication client test program
Contents
Description
Uses synchronous librdmam calls to establish an RDMA connection between two nodes. This example is
intended to provide a very simple coding example of how to use RDMA.
Name
rdma_xclient - RDMA CM communication client test program
Notes
Basic usage is to start rdma_xserver, then connect to the server using the rdma_client program.
Because this test maps RDMA resources to userspace, users must ensure that they have available system
resources and permissions. See the libibverbs README file for additional details.
Options
-s server_address
Specifies the address of the system that the rdma_server is running on. By default, the client
will attempt to connect to the server using 127.0.0.1.
-p server_port
Specifies the port number that the server listens on. By default the server listens on port 7471.
-c communication type
Specifies the type of communication established with the server program. 'r' results in using a
reliable-connected QP (the default). 'x' uses extended reliable-connected XRC QPs.
