\Tstrut
\textbf{Abbreviation} & \textbf{Description}\\
\hhline{=|=}
\Tstrut
\acrshort{lrh} & \textit{\acrlong{lrh}}: detailed information on this header is provided in a separate paragraph below.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{grh} & \textit{\acrlong{grh}}: detailed information on this header is provided in a separate paragraph below.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{bth} & \textit{\acrlong{bth}}: Every packet in the \gls{iba} contains this header. It contains fields for the \gls{iba} transport and holds, i.a., the packet type, the destination queue pair number, and the packet sequence number.
\Tstrut\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshortpl{eth} & \textit{\acrlongpl{eth}}: These headers are optional and are used if applicable, based on the packet type in the \acrshort{bth}\@. All following headers which end with \textit{ETH} are extended transport headers.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{rdeth} & \textit{\acrlong{rdeth}}: This header contains the end-to-end context, used with the reliable datagram service type.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{deth} & \textit{\acrlong{deth}}: This header contains the queue key and the source queue pair number for datagram transfers.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{reth} & \textit{\acrlong{reth}}: This header contains the virtual address, remote key, and DMA length for an \gls{rdma} operation.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{atomiceth} & \textit{\acrlong{atomiceth}}: This header is used for atomic operations and is similar to the \acrshort{reth}\@. Instead of a length field, it contains a swap (or add) field and a compare data field.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{aeth} & \textit{\acrlong{aeth}}: This header serves as acknowledge field in \gls{rdma} read response first, \gls{rdma} read response last, \gls{rdma} read response only, and acknowledge packets.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{atomicacketh} & \textit{\acrlong{atomicacketh}}: This header is similar to the \acrshort{aeth}, but for atomic acknowledgments. It only contains the original remote data.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{imm} & \textit{\acrlong{imm}}: This optional block can be used to add \SI{32}{\bit} of custom data to \textit{send} or \textit{\gls{rdma} write} packets. The containing \SI{32}{\bit} of data will be visible in the receive completion queue element.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{ieth} & \textit{\acrlong{ieth}}: This header contains a remote key which will be used to invalidate a remote memory region.
\Tstrut\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
Payload & \textit{Payload}: This is the actual payload to be sent. This field will be as big as the \gls{mtu} of the network.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{icrc} & \textit{\acrlong{icrc}}: This is the redundancy check for blocks that do not change during their transmission from source to destination.
\newline
The \gls{crc} which is used is the same as in the Ethernet standard: the CRC-32 with the polynomial \texttt{0x04C11DB7}.
\Bstrut\\
\hline
\Tstrut
\acrshort{vcrc} & \textit{\acrlong{vcrc}}: This is the redundancy check for blocks that do change during their transmissing from source to destination.
