[openib-general] IPoIB Question

[Scott Weitzenkamp (sweitzen)]

IPoIB performance will vary quite a bit depending on what motherboard,
CPU speed, and HCA type you have.  What are the specs on the systems you
are using?
 
Netperf (www.netperf.org) is a good tool to measure IPoIB performance.

	Hello, 

	  I currently have several applications that uses a legacy IPv4
protocol and I use IPoIB to utilize my infiniband network which works
great. I have completed some timing and throughput analysis and noticed
that I do not get very much more if I use an infiniband network
interface than using my GigE network interface. My question is, am I
using IPoIB correctly or are these the typical numbers that everyone is
seeing? Is there a standard application that I may use to test my
current configuration?

	Thanks in advance, 

	Sean
