Networking has always used *bps - that's been the standard for many years. Megabits, Gigabits ... Disk tools have always measured in bytes since that is how the capacity is defined. How did you create your etherstub? I know you can set a maxbw (maximum bandiwdth), but I don't know what the

Thank you all, the water is already clearing up :) So infiniband is 40 Gbps an not 40GB/s, very confusing GB/s Gbps why they not take a standaard and set everything in GB/s or MB/s ? A lot of people make a lot of mistakes between them, me too ... If it is 40 Gbps a factor of 8 then we

Some other things you need to take into account: QDR Infiniband is 40Gbps, not 40GB/s. That is a factor of 8 difference. That is also a theoretical maximum throughput, there is some overhead. In reality, you will never see 40Gbps. My system tested out at 6Gbps - 8Gbps using NFS over IPoIB, with

Here's a quick thought: if you are copying your files with scp, you might be CPU bound because of all the crypto work. You should try to copy with a much more CPU-lightweight tool. I personally usually use netcat for this kind of stuff. Just my 2 cents. -- Ludovic On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 2:26

Hello, I'm trying to understand something let me explain. Oracle always told to me that if you create a etherstub switch it has infiniband speed 40GB/s. But I have a customer running on Solaris (Yeah I know but let me explain) who is copy from 1 NGZ to another NGZ on the same GZ over Lan
