We have clearly stated that the Mellanox switch is around 200 usec per
hop. Myricom's number is also well known.
I think Vincent meant another latency, not the per-hop latency in the
switches: the time to switch between different processes communicating
to the NIC. I never heard of this latency being specified, nor being
substantial. Can anybody comment?
