[ofa-general] Mellanox OFED package vs. RedHat IB packages

[Dimitar Dimitrov]

Hello,

As a beginner with InfiniBand technology I would like to ask the
following:

Would there be any advantage in using the Mellanox provided OFED
packages over the already supplied ones from the RedHat repository? We
are using "Mellanox Technologies MT25208 InfiniHost III Ex" adapters. I
noticed a slight difference in the name of some of the applications
provided, but would expect the functionality to be the same. So which
one "is better"?
