Anyone familiar with the Infiniband's approach to exposing IO via rx/tx queues [0] comment whether it seems similar to io_uring's ring-buffers [1]? How do these contrast against each other?

Very limited experience with Infiniband but it seems similar, a bit more flexible (esp recently with more syscalls supported).

Also similar to but more general than RIO Sockets of Win8+:
