RoCE/SMC-R support in Omegamon XE for Mainframe Networks

We are using the RoCE in our data center environment but in order for us to better utilize this technology we would like to monitor the RoCE with Omegamon. Currently Omegamon for Mainframe Networks has no support for the RoCE.

Shared Memory Communications over Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), or Shared Memory Communications over RDMA (SMC-R), is a protocol solution that is based on sockets over RDMA. SMC-R enables TCP sockets applications to transparently use RDMA, which enables direct, high-speed, low-latency, memory-to-memory (peer-to-peer) communications. Communicating peers such as TCP/IP stacks dynamically learn about the shared memory capability by using traditional TCP/IP connection establishment flows, enabling the TCP/IP stacks to switch from TCP network flows to more optimized direct memory access flows that use RDMA.
