Anyone know if Firewire is a reasonable alternative to ethernet for RDMA with commodity hardware? Firewire does actual DMA transfers, so it might have lower latency by bypassing the TCP stack. Phr 07:17, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Your average $20 pci firewire card can serve external read and write requests directly from main memory. The data will never touch the main CPU. I would be shocked if commodity gigabit ethernet could match 800 Mbit firewire. (cred: I have written firmware for a firewire device.) --Ryanrs 03:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

This page appears to have a limited or slanted view of the trade-offs between RMDA and "classic" transfers. I would appreciate it if an advocate of RDMA transfers, especially one who has experienced RDMA in various contexts supplemented this page with other information. emery@plambert.net —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.99.115.118 (talk) 22:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
This page has many syntax weirdnesses, as if it were translated from an Asian language. Someone who knows the subject matter, AND knows how to write in English, could greatly improve the article. --User: rhodesh —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhodesh (talk • contribs) 18:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Article should link to the "RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)" article. RoCE is 2010 vintage and is the latest RDMA standard. This article looks like it's circa 2005 or 2006 and has vestiges of the debate on RDMA vs non RDMA of the 5 years before that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fstevenchalmers (talk • contribs) 00:50, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
