title: Will the RDMA enabled NIC do endian conversion?
body: <p>Is it possible to get an RDMA adapter (e.g. Mellanox NIC) to do an endian conversion during data transfer?  Specifically, we're doing an RDMA transfer from a big-endian to a little-endian system and vice versa.  Once data lands at the target, then we need to do a bswap32() or bswap64() to do the endian conversion which will chew processor cycles.  I am wondering if we can get free bswaps from the NIC instead.</p>
