Hi,<br><br>I'd like to experiment with IB as a cheap 10+ Gbps point-to-point interconnect (4x SDR adapters are available quite cheap) between a video editing workstation (Win 7 x64) and a storage server (Server 2008 R2). SMB will be used to maintain compatibility with other existing clients. The server is a fairly powerful machine (dual-core Core i5) with a RAID subsystem that can saturate a gigabit link several times over.<br>
<br>Digging through list archives to determine IPoIB performance in Windows, the latest I could find were posts from 2006-2007 that claimed performance was poor because the way IPoIB was implemented was extremely CPU-intensive. How much has IPoIB performance improved with the newer WinOF/NDIS versions? Is it still as tightly CPU-bound?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>-Ishaan<br>
