## Data Object Description

This data object represents a physical NIC backing for an RDMA device.

When an RDMA device is backed by a physical NIC, it can be associated with the virtual NICs connected to a virtual switch which has the backing physical NIC as an uplink. The actual bindings are created and destroyed dynamically based on application usage of the RDMA device.
