If you use RC QP and send the data using the SEND opcode, if you'll get a completion
(with good status) in the sender, that means that the data was written in the receiver buffer.

In IB, you won't see the various headers (expect in UD QPs, in which you will get the GRH).

You can look at the example in the following url:
