The hybrid model of SMC-R uses the following key attributes: 

GLYPH<SM590000> It follows the standard TCP/IP connection setup. 

GLYPH<SM590000> The hybrid model switches to RDMA (SMC-R) dynamically. 

GLYPH<SM590000> The TCP connection remains active (idle) and is used to control the SMC-R connection. 

GLYPH<SM590000> The hybrid model preserves the following critical operational and network management TCP/IP features: 

– Minimal (or zero) IP topology changes 

– Compatibility with TCP conne ction-level load balancers 

– Preservation of the existing IP security model,such as IP filters, policies, virtual LANs (VLANs), and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 

– Minimal network administration and management changes 

GLYPH<SM590000> Host application software is not required to change; therefore, all host application workloads can benefit immediately.
