NAME
     ibcm - Solaris InfiniBand Communication Manager

DESCRIPTION
     The Solaris InfiniBand Communication  Manager  (IBCM)  is  a
     Solaris  kernel  misc  module that adheres to the InfiniBand
     Architecture  Specification,  Volume  1:  Release  1.1   for
     InfiniBand Communication Management Class.


     IBCM provides a transport layer abstraction to IB clients to
     set  up reliable connected channels along with service, mul-
     ticast, and path lookup-related functionality.  IBCM  imple-
     ments  the  CM  protocol  as per the InfiniBand Architecture
     Specification,  Volume  1:  Release  1.1  and  utilizes  the
     InfiniBand   Management   Framework   module   for   all  IB
     management-related functionality and  the  InfiniBand  Tran-
     sport  Layer  (see  ibtl(7D)) for all IB Verbs-related func-
     tionality.
