This document describes a protocol providing Remote Direct Memory Access
(RDMA) as a new transport for Remote Procedure Call (RPC).  The
RDMA transport binding conveys the benefits of efficient, bulk-data
transport over high-speed networks, while providing for minimal
change to RPC applications and with no required revision of the
application RPC protocol, or the RPC protocol itself.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
