The RDMA Transport for ONC RPC [RPCRDMA] allows an RPC client The RDMA Transport for ONC RPC [RPCRDMA] allows an RPC client
application to post buffers in a Chunk list for specific arguments application to post buffers in a Chunk list for specific arguments
and results from an RPC call. The RDMA transport header conveys this and results from an RPC call. The RDMA transport header conveys this
list of client buffer addresses to the server where the application list of client buffer addresses to the server where the application
can associate them with client data and use RDMA operations to can associate them with client data and use RDMA operations to
transfer the results directly to and from the posted buffers on the transfer the results directly to and from the posted buffers on the
client. The client and server must agree on a consistent mapping of client. The client and server must agree on a consistent mapping of
posted buffers to RPC. This document details the mapping for each posted buffers to RPC. This document details the mapping for each
