Quoting r. Scott Weitzenkamp (sweitzen) <sweitzen at cisco.com>:
> Netperf (www.netperf.org) is a good tool to measure IPoIB performance.

Of special note is the -T flag which often lets you get more consistent results
by pinning the test to a single CPU.

Another useful tool is iperf, which has a -P option for running multiple socket
tests in parallel. In TCP, multi-socket performance often exceeds that of a single
socket.
