The uDAPL 2.0 specification draft is almost ready for ratification, with headers synchronized and compiled with OFA headers. iWARP extension headers need to be completed. A new document is available to assist users in transitioning to uDAPL 2.0, which is not backward source compatible. The spec features include Common Connection Model, HA extensions with load-balancing, IB and iWARP extension support, RDMA Write with Immediate & Atomic, iWARP Socket connection model, DAPL core extension support, and more. Over 30 errata have been closed.
