Technological details behind VMware IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB) driver

Hi,

 

I'm interested in technological details behind VMware IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB) driver. There is very little information available publicly (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2058261, http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_software/Mellanox_IB_OFED_Driver_for_VMware_vSphere_User_Manual_Rev_1_8_2_4.pd…)

 

Specifically I would like to know weather the implementation of VMware IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB) driver is the same as implementation for Linux based Hypervisors and utilizes eIPoIB "shim layer", see here: https://www.openfabrics.org/index.php/ofa-documents/presentations/doc_download/510-ethernet-tunneling-over-ipoib.html? Or maybe some other technology, technique, etc. is used to support paravirtualization of IPoIB inteface on VMware? I undestand that implemetation details are probaly "secret" or protected by copyright laws, but at least "yes" or "no" with some additional information would be good enough.

 

Thanks!
