Recommended HPE Ethernet Switches for RDMA-enabled Fabrics

PublishTime：2021-08-11

●Introduction
■The use of remote direct memory access (RDMA) in networks is becoming more common in the data center for low-latency connectivity. Customers have a choice of deploying either RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) or Internet wide area RDMA protocol (iWARP) RDMA protocols across the network.
■While all the adapters listed in the Products Affected table support both RoCE and iWARP, customers often ask which switches support RDMA. This is a valid question. To get the benefit of low-latency RDMA, enterprise-class switches are required in the network.

TD-000130 Rev. 32enterprise-class switches from HPE that provide the best performance for an RDMA fabric running either 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), 25GbE, or 50GbE bandwidths and either RoCE or iWARP RDMA protocols.
■RoCE needs a lossless network, which can require extra switch features, such as data center bridging (DCB) priority flow control (PFC)/enhanced transmission selection (ETS)/congestion notification (CN) to function properly over lossy Ethernet networks. The iWARP protocol does not need DCB and can function on most 10GBASE-T and 10G SFP+/25G SFP28/100G QSFP28 switches using just the TCP protocol stack.
