What is RoCE?

RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) is a network protocol that allows Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to operate over an Ethernet network. It enables direct memory access between servers without involving the operating system, reducing latency and CPU utilization. RoCE is commonly used in high-performance computing, data centers, and storage systems to accelerate data transfer and improve application performance. There are two versions: RoCE v1 which operates over loss-less Ethernet, and RoCE v2 which operates over routable UDP/IP networks.
