Changes and New Features

[Alpha Level] Added support for GPU Direct Memory in the ND API. This enables users to run tests using GPU memory instead of host memory. Requires CUDA version 12.8 or higher.

For further information, see GPUDirect.

Added support for official NDIS KDNET OIDs, allowing configuration of 2PF kernel-mode debugging using the kdnet.exe tool.

For instructions on downloading kdnet.exe and setting up 2PF kernel-mode debugging, see the WinOF-2 User Manual (Setting 2PF kernel-mode Debugging using kdnet) and the official Microsoft documentation on MSDN.

Added support for interleaved FEC modes is ConnectX-7 and ConnectX-8. They can be viewed using the mlx5cmd -dbg -LinkFec command via ethtool.

The newly supported FEC types include:

• ELL Interleaved – Interleaved_Ethernet_Consortium_LL_50G_RS_FEC (272,257+1)
• RS FEC Interleaved – Interleaved_Standard_RS-FEC (544,514)
