<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>What is the benefit of using the iWARP driver? Do you offload the traffic comming from the cluster directly to the chelsio card (RDMA directly to Chelsio)?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would it be beneficial to have the iWARP driver installed on nodes that communicate with clients over IP and with other servers (of its cluster) over IB? We are now using SDP as an intercluster protocol, but in the future we are probably going to VERBS for it.</FONT></DIV>
