Ok, so you have a Cluster with Infiniband a while the network traffic is low you want to utilize the Infiniband network for other data transfers with a lower priority? What does this have to do with TCP or are you using TCP over Infiniband? Regards Christian Leber -- http://rettetdieti.vde-uni-mannheim.de/
