+
+**RDMA Improvements**
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+This proposal is regarding getting RDMA volumes out of tech preview.

+
+Current status
+--------------
+
+Work in progress
+
+Detailed Description
+--------------------
+
+Fix known & unknown issues in volumes with transport type rdma so that
+RDMA can be used as the interconnect between client - servers & between
+servers.
+
+-   Performance Issues - Had found that performance was bad when
+    compared with plain ib-verbs send/recv v/s RDMA reads and writes.
+-   Co-existence with tcp - There seemed to be some memory corruptions
+    when we had both tcp and rdma transports.
+-   librdmacm for connection management - with this there is a
+    requirement that the brick has to listen on an IPoIB address and
+    this affects our current ability where a peer has the flexibility to
+    connect to either ethernet or infiniband address. Another related
+    feature Better peer identification will help us to resolve this
+    issue.
+-   More testing required
+
+Benefit to GlusterFS
