+<h2><a name="WinVerbs">WinVerbs</a></h2><hr>\r
+<p><br>WinVerbs is a userspace verbs and communication management interface optimized<br>for the Windows operating system. Its lower interface is designed to support<br>any RDMA based device, including Infiniband and iWarp. Its upper interface is<br>capable of providing a low latency verbs interface, plus supports Microsoft's<br>Network Direct Interface, DAPL, and OFED libibverbs interfaces. It consists of<br>a userspace library and a kernel filter driver.<br>\r
+<br>The WinVerbs driver loads as an upper filter driver for Infiniband controllers.<br>(Open source iWarp drivers for Windows are not yet available.) A corresponding<br>userspace library installs as part of the Winverbs driver installation package.<br>Additionally, a Windows port of the OFED libibverbs library and several test<br>programs are also included.<br>\r
+<br>A full list of available libibverbs test programs and their usage are given<br>below. Note that not all listed options apply to all applications<br>\r
+<br>ibv_devinfo<br>-d <dev> use IB device <dev> (default first device found)<br>-I <port> use port <port> of IB device (default all ports)<br>-l print only the IB devices names<br>-v print all the attributes of the IB device(s)<br>\r

+<br>To verify correct WinVerbs and libibverbs installation, run ibv_devinfo. It<br>should report all RDMA devices in the system, along with limited port<br>attributes. Because of limitations in the WinOF stack, it is normal for it to<br>list several values as unknown.</p>\r
