+
+## πŸ“‹ **IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS**
+
+### **Step 1: UCX Integration Setup**
+1. **Add UCX dependencies to Rust**:
+ ```toml
+ [dependencies]
+ ucx-sys = "0.1" # UCX FFI bindings
+ ```
+
+2. **Create UCX wrapper module**:
+ ```bash
+ touch rdma-engine/src/ucx.rs
+ ```
+
+3. **Implement basic UCX context**:
+ ```rust
+ pub struct UcxRdmaContext {
+ context: *mut ucx_sys::ucp_context_h,
+ worker: *mut ucx_sys::ucp_worker_h,
+ }
+ ```
+
+### **Step 2: Development Environment**
+1. **Install UCX library**:
+ ```bash
+ # Ubuntu/Debian
+ sudo apt-get install libucx-dev
+
+ # CentOS/RHEL
+ sudo yum install ucx-devel
+ ```
+
+2. **Update Cargo.toml features**:
+ ```toml
+ [features]
+ default = ["mock"]
+ mock = []
+ real-ucx = ["ucx-sys"]
+ ```
+
+### **Step 3: Testing Strategy**
+1. **Add hardware detection tests**
+2. **Create UCX initialization tests**
+3. **Implement gradual feature migration**
+4. **Maintain mock fallback for CI/CD**

+
+## ⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTES**
+
+### **Breaking Changes to Avoid**
+- **Keep IPC Protocol Stable**: Don't change MessagePack format
+- **Maintain HTTP API**: Existing endpoints must remain compatible
+- **Preserve Configuration**: Environment variables should work unchanged
+
+### **Testing Requirements**
+- **Hardware Tests**: Require actual RDMA NICs
+- **CI/CD Compatibility**: Must fallback to mock for automated testing
+- **Performance Benchmarks**: Compare mock vs real performance
+
+### **Security Considerations**
+- **Memory Protection**: Ensure RDMA regions are properly isolated
+- **Access Control**: Validate remote memory access permissions
+- **Data Validation**: Always verify CRC checksums
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 **SUCCESS CRITERIA**
+
+### **Phase 3 Complete When**:
+- [ ] Real RDMA data transfers working
+- [ ] Hardware device detection functional
+- [ ] Performance exceeds mock implementation
+- [ ] All integration tests passing with real hardware
+
+### **Phase 4 Complete When**:
+- [ ] Production deployment successful
+- [ ] Monitoring and alerting operational
