You mean MTU or ULP payload? The default NFS reads and writes are
32KB, and in the addressing mode used in these tests they were
broken into 8 page-sized RDMA ops. So, there were 9 ops from the
server, per NFS read. I used the default MTU so these were probably
19 messages on the wire. I don't expect much difference with smaller
MTU, but smaller NFS ops would be noticeable.

Tom.
